1000 most common modern Greek words

We produced this list of the most common Greek words by performing a statistical analysis of a large collection of documents written in Greek (including news articles, and other articles on the web).

The words in this Greek vocabulary list have been sorted by frequency: those near the top of the list are more common than those near the bottom.

Greek is an inflected language, meaning that the endings of some words change depending on how they are used in a sentence. To convert words to their dictionary form, we applied a natural language processing method called lemmatization.

To filter this vocabulary list by type of word (noun, verb, adjective, etc ..), you can use the buttons below.
