According to classical Greek, the phrase 'oimoi talaina' is pronounced oy-moy tah-lie*-nah. According to modern Greek, it's pronounced ee-mee tah-lay**-nah. Either way, the phrase is considered the equivalent of 'Alas!Woe is me!' in English.

*The sound is the same as the sound of the verb 'to lie' in English.

**The sound is the same as the sound of the verb 'to lay' in English.
