Quoting kai: Also having a little trouble understanding Martha's name in Greek. May I ask why can you not just put Μαρτα instead of Μάρθα? Because doesn't Μαρτα = Marta and Μάρθα = Martha?
I am confused  :-S....Please help  |
If you want to say Martha, you'll use θ. If Μαρτα is the case (which doesnt exist as a name in Greek)then u use τ.
Μάρθα and Μάρτα sound and are different. θ is the letter for th (like in the word thesis) but τ is same with the english t.

They were all in greek too, because of these posts:
Quoting kai: Martha in Greek is written like this >>>> : Μαρτα |
Quoting kai: in Greek Natasha = Наташа
|
They were wrong and someone had to correct them, that's all.
As for Filippa or Philippa, I only said it's correct. Forgive me for that! :rolling eyes:

OK thanks I think I got it 
But her name isn't Martha, it's Marta :-S I know that name doesn't exist in Greek but it's like Ben doesn't exist in Turkish, but that doesn't mean they have or can change it to what it should/would be if it could be....Off I am so cofused :-S....no wonder i gave up on Greek 
Ah well, I think I'll stick to Español

you see what I mean? we already had this conversation in another thread but there are lots of names that have different meanings in different languages that have nothing to do with the name..... For e.g. my unlces name is Can, but in English you would pronounce it as it's spelt, where as in Turkish it is pronounced as "Jun"
