Traffic Lights in Greek
by Resat Suthan - Tuesday, 23 March 2010, 05:04 PM
  Hey Guys;

I have this sentence in phonetic which is supposed to be traffic lights. I have no clue how it is written in Greek.

"to FOS kee-klo-fo-REE-ahs"

It is something different than "φανάρια".

Anyone can help? I will appreciate it.

Thnks,

Richard

  It is spelt το φως κυκλοφορίας

το φως means light (think photo-)

  Thank you very much friend.

I figured out the `φως` part, but the rest of it was way behind my imagination.
I have searched the internet for 3 days, but didn't help much.

Thanks again,
Richard

  Κυκλοφορία means "circulation" or "traffic". So "φως κυκλοφορίας" really is a literal translation of the expression "traffic light".
