PERI ALOS

How you say the word SEA in your language? (please write also the spelling).
My blog's Title "Περί Αλός" (Peri Alos) means in ancient greek language: "All about the sea".
You see, ΑΛΣ (ALS) in ancient greek means SEA.

In Maltese you say " Baħar " .....the (ħ) also H must be pronounced very heavy !!

PERI ALOS ∙ 48 weeks ago

Very interesting Hotei! Thank you so much!

PERI ALOS ∙ 48 weeks ago

Neilyamit very interesting what you said. I Know that Fillipino language has too many dialects. So "DAGAT" us my friend EGeeKBee wrote and "KARAGATAN" as you wrote, are Tagalo?

Neilyamit ∙ 47 weeks ago

Filipino refers to the national language. It has a lot of components from regional dialects...majority from the Tagalog dialect.

Dagat is used in almost all Filipino regional dialects.

"Dagat" refers to sea (general term).

"Karagatan" refers to Sea (specific name).

EGeeKBee ∙ 47 weeks ago

Well as for the dialects... I think "dagat" goes for all dialects and the the national language as well. I speak visayan and they call it 'dagat' also

CLEIO ∙ 48 weeks ago

Also SAL in Latin!

PERI ALOS ∙ 47 weeks ago

Thank you Cleio!

dennis hodgson ∙ 47 weeks ago

"Sal" is Latin for "salt". The Latin for "sea" is "mare".

CLEIO ∙ 46 weeks ago

Mare Nostrum. Yes you are right. But I've met in Latin Dictionary also the word SAL. From the same route we have the word SALT. You can see the same thing happened in greek language too. ΑΛΣ (ancient Greek = Sea) From the same word we have the words ΑΛΑΤΙ (salt), ΑΛΙΕΥΣ (fisherman) and so on...

Milan Aryal ∙ 47 weeks ago

Zara Aluwi ∙ 47 weeks ago

Im from Malaysia, my National Language is Malay. So the word 'sea' in Malay is LAUT.

PERI ALOS ∙ 47 weeks ago

Thank you Zara. I like the letter L for the word SEA..

dennis hodgson ∙ 47 weeks ago

海 in Chinese, although it has different pronunciations in different parts of China; for example, "hui" in Cantonese, "hai" in Shanghainese (Shanghai literally means "upper (or higher) sea".
