This book is neither a dictionary nor does it aim to engage in the field of linguistics. Its goal is simply to show the younger generations that modern Greek, the language we speak, is a living language, closely connected with its past.
This fact is evident in every aspect of our daily lives, from the names of foods, clothes, and toys to our customs, and more. Knowledge of the language not only aids in the accurate expression of concepts in everyday speech but also broadens the mind.
According to Wittgenstein, "the limits of my language are the limits of my world." Therefore, by learning our language, we expand the boundaries of our thinking.
Moreover, as we can ascertain from the dual meaning of the ancient Greek word "logos," which signifies not only speech but also logic, the ancient Greeks realized that language and thought are interconnected.
