How do I pronounce δυναμική (dynamics)

Post by miner_tom »

Hi,
I am involved in aerodynamics. The above Greek (δυναμική) is the root of what in English we call dynamics. I believe that the word itself means motion or movement. How would I pronounce this phonetically?

Thank You
Tom

One could approximate it with


/ d ῠ n ᾰ m ῐ k ' ɛː /

That's not what a modern Greek would say though.
