A little Greek word for on vacation
As I said before: April is party month. The suitcases from Paris are still exploded in my bedroom, meanwhile we are (if you are reading this) already at Schiphol. Next stop: the Sani resort in Chalkidiki. Nine women, six hotel rooms, one mission: fun. But, colleagues, can you actually speak a little Greek? The Greeks are the absolute best if you join in a bit. They appreciate it even if you say a small word across the border. Time for a little refresher. And, not written in Greek, okay, then we won't understand a single thing. ή καταλαβαίνετε αυτό? No, right?
Good. To start with the basics. Easy:
- good morning - kalimera
- good afternoon - kalispera
- good evening/good night - kalinichta
Moving on to the booze, the food, and the thanking. This will be important, especially point 1. Anyone want some krassie?
- wine - krassie
- beer - biera
- of water - nero
- coffee - kaffeh
- tea - tsai
- restaurant - estiatorio
- bread - psomie
- thank you - efcharisto
- please - parakalo
And, in our case, also not entirely unwise, girls: the weather. I'm looking forward to a bit of kalo kero.
- rain – vrechie
- sun – ieljo
- swimming – banjo
- sea – thalassa
- swimming pool – pisina
- nice weather - kalo kero
No, no higher mathematics today, just a lot of excitement. And now, let's get on that plane quickly. Bye!
