Greek (ελληνικά) is an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages with a written record of over 3,000 years, easily making it the oldest documented Indo-European language. The Greek alphabet, originating from the Phoenician script, was the basis of numerous other scripts, such as Latin, Cyrillic, Coptic, Gothic, and Armenian. The Greek language has virtually impacted other languages in every corner of the world, being an important component of Western civilization, the Christian religion, and the language of some of the fundamental texts of science, astronomy, and mathematics. The Greek language today holds official status in Greece and Cyprus, and is recognized as a minority language in Albania, Armenia, Hungary, Italy, Romania, and Ukraine.
Romanian (limba română) is a Balkan Romance language within the Italic branch of the Indo-European family. It is spoken primarily in Romania and Moldova where it is the official language, in addition to being one of the official languages of the European Union. Having evolved from different Vulgar Latin dialects, Romanian is a part of the Eastern Romance sub-branch of Romance languages. Within the group, the language is called Daco-Romanian in order to distinguish it from Aromanian, Megleno-Romanian and Istro-Romanian.

Plicticos is actually a 100% ancient Greek word and actually a quite "fancy" one used mostly by writers and journalists. I'm really impressed that Romanians use it commonly!! 👏👏👏👍👍👍

1:03 I'm Greek and I often use the word pliktikos! But I think the most common Greek word for boring is βαρετός (varetós) which is more informal!

(3:50) In Portuguese we use the word "cerâmica" from the greek word "κέραμος" for burned clay.

Him mentioning about Aromanian, Istroromanians and Meglenoromanians.. I love him. Aromanians or Vlachs are the maniest. I'm Aromanian and if I can help, please tell. Aromanian does have way much more Greek words because many Aromanians lived and still live in Greece, old Macedonia, throughout the Balkans Zitw i Ellada, i Kriti kai o Pontos kai i vlaxoi S'bâneadzã Armânjii si iutsido!!!!
