  2.  @abacaxi.maldoso  Yep :) -pole means ''city'' btw, so Constantinople means Constantine's city (literaly). There are even cities in southern Russia and Ukraine that stil bear names ending in the greek -pol (-pole in greek), like Symferopol, Sevastopol etc.

  3.  @Thessaloz  I am 25. I have lived all my life in Greece. My ancestors are from Anatolia/Asia Minor too. I have never heard someone refering to greeks as Romioi, EXCEPT than to EXPLAIN, that in OLD times (like until the 19th c.) greeks indeed called themselves Romioi as well. Our songs George, are like 500 years old or older. Of COURSE they say ''Romioi'' :D Do you call Greeks as Romioi any more? No, you call them Ελληνες. :D End of story. :D ''Romioi'' is a thing of the PAST. I agree with the lasta para though.

  4.  @SpartanLeonidas1821  (δεξιός εδω) διαβαζω τα σχολιά σου, και εχω εκνευριστεί απο την επαρση σου για την Ελλαδα, σε σχεση με τα παντα, και ειδικά τις γειτονικες χωρες. Σταματα να μιλας αποτομα και για αλλες χωρες σαν να ειναι σκουπίδια. Η Ελλαδα δεν ειναι καθολου οσο φοβερη λες. Οριστε. Η σοφια ειναι ΠΙΟ ΠΛΟΥΣΙΑ απο την Αθηνα μας. https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Greece&country2=Bulgaria&city1=Athens&city2=Sofia Σταματα να γραφεις φανατισμενα ή εθνικιστικά σχολια. Μας ντροπιάζεις!!!!

  6.  @Thessaloz  My relatives are from Bursa(Προυσα), and also from Pontus (Batumi, now in Georgia, then Russia). My opinion is, that we should not call ourselves Romioi (anymore :D) because, as you correctly said, there is no Roman Empire anymore, plus, Ελληνες is what we really are, (and how we identify ourselves) :D It is like Germans calling themselves Romans ,because of the Holy Roman Empire :D
