Its being used as an honorific I believe

>> No.11421107

>>11421089
Vous isn't just for multiple people, it's used any time you address a single person formally.
The real answer is that google translate defaults to the formal case and that's where the poster got that sentence from.

Exactly. Why would one use the honorific on this website?

Is it accurate that icelandic speakerd, with minimum further education, can read old norse with ease?
And how similar are modern greek and the classical (i assume) ionic dialect you're literate on?

Good lad I'm fucking jealous: English, french, spanish.

Sure, I can read it, and I'm not a native speaker of Icelandic. Some Old Norse requires a dictionary though, because the words have lost meaning, or no longer are in use. But yes they can read it pretty easily.

>And how similar are modern greek and the classical (i assume) ionic dialect you're literate on?

Standard dialect training in Classics is Attic, which is what the Athenians spoke between 400 B.C and ca. 200 A.D.

As for the similarities between modern and Ancient Greek, they are quite similar. The grammar and syntax is more similar than the pronunciation tbqh.

Also, Modern Greek barely uses pic related(Participles of all cases). Ancient Greek is full of it, which is a hassle to learn.
