Did you know?
- The Greek word συμφωνώ is the direct ancestor of the English word 'symphony'. Both terms describe the act of multiple voices or sounds blending together in harmony.
- In Greek, if you want to say 'I agree' in a casual conversation, you can simply say Συμφωνώ without a subject, as the verb ending already tells the listener that 'I' am the one agreeing.
- The root φων- inside συμφωνώ is also the basis for the English word 'phone'. It refers to the physical sound or voice produced by a person.
