Re:Re:Re::-) Hi everyone! Does anyone want to LEARN ENGLISH OR ARABIC? I want to learn all the slang Greek! I am dating a Greek and loving it! I wanna learn!
Hi Babe Cakes!!!
Well Take a pen...and start taking notes!!!
I miss you= mou lipis ("ou" as "oo" in "cool")
You make me happy= me kanis eftihismeni ("e" as in "bed", "h" as in "hate" only stronger)[this is used only when a woman addresses to a man. When a man addresses to a woman this phrase changes a little)
Your the best= "ise o kaliteros" or "ise oti kalitero" (they mean the same thing-choose what suits u better)
This is just the begining= afti ine mono i arhi ("e" & "h" r pronounced as in the above phrases)
Anything for u= ta pada gia sena ("e" as above)
and now some mine that he will definately like (in slang):
Troo megali kapsoura gia parti sou agori mou= I'm very much in love with u (my) boy (the "oo" in "troo" is pronounced separately "tro-o", while the "ou" as in the above words)
Moro mou ise ola ta lefta = lit. (My) baby u r all the money!!!!which means I like/love u very much!!!(ur boyfriend will like this very much)
Se goustaro poli= i like u very much (the "ou" as above), my mind has stuck now...i will send u some more...
Now regarding ur prob...i must admit that i didn't understand very well what exactly it is...
Greek emigrants usually try to keep their family traditional...with customs, not marrying "non-greeks" etc...but generally greeks r open-minded people...as i see it the most probable is that they will accept u, hug u and treat u as u were their daughter...don't worry...
Have u discussed ur fears, feeling, thoughts with ur boyfriend on this?
Hope i have helped u a little...
Kisses

Re::-) Hi everyone! Does anyone want to LEARN ENGLISH OR ARABIC? I want to learn all the slang Greek! I am dating a Greek and loving it! I wanna learn!
Hey Baby Cakes...
You want to learn all the Greek slang?...Don't worry..There is much of it!!!!e.g. "Pos tin eides tin douleia re filaraki?", which literally means "How did you see it?"!!!This is used when you see someone exaggerating in what they say or when someone cuts in sth you do...e.g.2 "Ti lei?" literally What it tells?!!!This is used to ask someone "How are you?" e.g.3 "Xalara" lit. "relaxed", means " I'm taking it easy" or take it easy...it is a noun so its use is a little bit conflicting...e.g. "Re"...means "Hey" in Greek slang...Well there are apparently much more, but I cannot write them all...I hope I've helped you a little....I'd love to hear what happened with ur boyfriend when you told him these phrases....
Kisses...Eugenia M.

Re:French Slang/ Help with English
Dont mistake slang for the everyday expressions.
Angélique Louassier gave you some very useful familiar expressions.
Be careful with slang, use it only with young people, it's both like a teenager whim and an anticonformism rebellion recognition sign. It's a street language that may be very offensive to old-fashioned people.
