&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; In Greek there is only one way to pronounce the word mageia (μαγεία) =<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; ma y<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; i a , the y like the w in weather, and the accent at the i :<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; <a href="http://fr.forvo.com/word/%ce%bc%ce%b1%ce%b3%ce%b5%ce%af%ce%b1/">http://fr.forvo.com/word/%ce%bc%ce%b1%ce%b3%ce%b5%ce%af%ce%b1/</a><br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; Yes, that&#39;s one of the 3 ways I&#39;ve been told by native greek speakers :)<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; --<br>
&gt; &gt; &gt; wobo<br>
&gt; &gt;<br>
&gt; &gt; In greek there is only one pronunciation and not 3 either 2, but only one.<br>
&gt; &gt; If someone told you another pronunciation for the word mageia in greek, he<br>
&gt; &gt; is not greek or it is not his native language. It is not even a case that<br>
&gt; &gt; we can say for example that in the north of greece they say it in one way<br>
&gt; &gt; and in the south of greece in another way. It is a word that its letters<br>
&gt; &gt; cant be saying in another way but only in 1 way. If you change one thing of<br>
&gt; &gt; its pronunciation is like if you say the word computer in english :<br>
&gt; &gt; compoter or cimputer or campetor... etc, no sense at all<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; i&#39;ve heard that ancient greek has a different pronounciation.<br>
&gt;</p>
<p>I think that it would be hard to know the excact pronunciaton of the ancient greek there is nt any conversation recorded so it is impossible to have an answer. </p>
<p>But we dont have to go so far away and we dont need to. </p>
<p>If the question is how is the pronunciation in greek, there is one language, one pronunciation.</p>
<p>&gt; and that it&#39;s also close to magia (sp?), which someone told me means something<br>
&gt; that i&#39;m not gonna repeat here, but greeks feel proud of... (or so i&#39;ve been<br>
&gt; told)</p>
<p>What you mean close to magia ?</p>
