I would even say they're only a little similar if you're not familiar with neither Greek nor any of the Romance-branch languages.

I worked with a bunch of "malakas" from Greece ;) and it really is quite uniquelly sounding for somebody who can speak a bunch of other European languages (the only language I ever confused with it was Finnish and it still sounded not-quite-it).

Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
