</I>><i> 2. from a greek cook in Berlin
</I>><i> 3. from a greek neighbor who imigrated in Germany only 4 months ago.

</I>><i> All 3 are of greek origin, all 3 speak greek as mother tongue. And all

Maybe they speaked about another word ?
Eg, you show them the word Mageia and they try to say it like another word and not the word magic.
eg:
- <A HREF="http://translate.google.fr/#el%7Cen%7C%CE%BC%CE%B1%CE%B3%CE%BA%CE%B9%CE%AC%0A">http://translate.google.fr/#el%7Cen%7C%CE%BC%CE%B1%CE%B3%CE%BA%CE%B9%CE%AC%0A</A>
May be is this that said a few message above for magia (Μαγκιά) with the accent in the last a and the g like the g in ground but is a word "argot" (used in dialogs between friends etc) it means: cunning.
- Another way is if you say the word "Witchcraft" in french "Sorcelerie" in greek:
<A HREF="http://translate.google.fr/#fr%7Cel%7C%CE%BC%CE%AC%CE%B3%CE%B9%CE%B1%0A">http://translate.google.fr/#fr%7Cel%7C%CE%BC%CE%AC%CE%B3%CE%B9%CE%B1%0A</A>
magia (Μάγια)
it is in plural , noun ,with the accent in the first a and the g sound like y (young, euro, yellow).
- And another one is the word Magia (Μαγιά) with the accent in the last a and the g like y (young, euro, yellow)
<A HREF="http://translate.google.fr/#el%7Cfr%7C%CE%9C%CE%B1%CE%B3%CE%B9%CE%AC%0A%0A">http://translate.google.fr/#el%7Cfr%7C%CE%9C%CE%B1%CE%B3%CE%B9%CE%AC%0A%0A</A>
and it means the yeast , in french the "levure"
Maybe the last one is that he said the greek cooker :)
Maybe if we are not used to hear how sounds the greek language we heard every time the same word in a different way but definitively there is only one way to say Mageia (Μαγεία) in greek.
