Greek Expressions; “See you!” and “We will see!”

The Greek Expressions for “See you” or “We will see” are used on a daily basis, but….
Don’t mix them up in Greek!

Ever had that awkward moment when you confidently say something in Greek… and your Greek friend gives you that look?
Yeah — we’ve all been there.

Today’s Greek lesson is all about two tiny expressions that sound similar but mean totally different things.
They’re both super common, and if you’re visiting Greece, you’ll hear them all the time.

But warning: mixing them up is a classic Greek learner’s blooper! Let’s fix that today

Τσίπουρο, oύζο και ρακόμελο – τα ποτά της ελληνικής παράδοσης

Μια από τις πιο συνηθισμένες συζητήσεις ανάμεσα σε μια παρέα που πηγαίνει σε μια ταβέρνα είναι αν προτιμούν τσίπουρο ή ούζο.
Και τα δύο αυτά ποτά είναι παραδοσιακά ελληνικά με μεγάλη ιστορία και διαφορετική γεύση που συνοδεύουν τους μεζέδες και φέρνουν τους φίλους κοντά στο τραπέζι.

Learn Greek With An Entechno Song – George Dalaras

Do you like Greek music? Σας αρέσει η ελληνική μουσική;

Maybe this is not an easy question to answer, since there are so many different genres of Greek songs and music.
Ίσως να μην είναι τόσο εύκολο να απαντήσετε σε αυτή την ερώτηση, αφού υπάρχουν πολλά είδη ελληνικής μουσικής.

You might like one particular genre, like Rembetiko, Pop, Rock, but maybe not another genre like Laika, Entechna…?

So a better question might be;
Which genre of Greek Music do you like? Or, do you like Greek entechna songs ?
But with those questions, many non-Greeks will not be able to answer them, since they do not know the names or the difference between the various musical genres, neither the time-period that particular music was created in Greece.
