If you're wondering how to say good morning in Greek, it's really easy: just say 'kalimera'. It can also be loosely translated into 'have a good day' in Greek.
Greek translation: Γεια! / Γεια και χαÏά! / Îα πεÏνάς καλά!
Kalinikta: Goodnight in Greek.
Efharisto. Saying 'thank you' in Greek is equally easy, and you'll probably be wanting to say it a lot after all the delicious food you'll eat or the warmth and hospitality with which you'll be received! Just by saying efharisto you'll show everyone just how appreciative you are about it.
Greek-themed movies always seem to feature Greeks partying, drinking shots of ouzo, and yelling “Opa!†(We learned while in Greece that “opa†is usually saved for dancing and celebrations while “yamas†is more commonly used to say “cheers†or “to our health.â€)
A Greek folk expression of good cheer, often used during dancing, expressing fun and excitement.
The Russian equivalent for Cheers! is За здоровье![za zda-ró-vye]. Literally it means: "To your health!". The Russian word for'health' is 'здоровье' [zda-ró-vye].
'Viva' Viva and Salute are Italian for cheers.
Take home a bottle of ouzo and say, “Ya mas†with a glass of the national drink of Greece on ice!
“Cheers†in Irish is sláinte which is pronounced a bit like “slawn-cheâ€. Sláinte means “healthâ€, and if you're feeling brave, you can say sláinte is táinte (“slawn-che iss toin-cheâ€), meaning “health and wealthâ€. “Cheers†is one of the words included in lesson 10 of our course.
You can sip it, or mix it into a caipirinha, Brazil's national cocktail. When you cheers, you can say either “Saúde†(pronounce it saw-OO-jay) or “tim-tim,†(pronounced ching ching, similar to Italian).
"Happy Easter" (Καλό Πάσχα) in Greek is the wish you'd say before and only before Easter to refer to the Easter celebrations and Holy week as a whole. Closer to the Resurrection on Sunday, Greeks say "Καλή Ανάσταση". But on the day of Easter, on Sunday, you'd say "ΧÏιστός ΑνÎστη".
Those two words actually mean “many yearsâ€. So there you are! it is easy; you just say or write… xronia polla – or in Greek- ΧÏόνια Πολλά.
Greece (Ελλάδα, Hellada or Hellas), officially the Hellenic Republic (Ελληνική ΔημοκÏατία, Elliniki Dimokratia) is a Parliamentary Republic. The President, elected by Parliament every five years, is Head of State.
Yes, opa and oma mean grandfather and grandmother, but in a more familiar way. More like grandpa and grandma.
Scream. But more correctly "Ор" or "крик" See a translation.
opa. adjective. (And) (Arg) 1 (sordomudo) deaf and dumb. 2 (tonto) stupid; (retrasado) mentally retarded.
Opa is the informal German name for grandfather or grandpa.
From Brazilian Portuguese. It's a slang and it has two meanings. First one is often used in the spoken language, and it means "a kind of surprise feeling". Imaging yourself walking, then you decide to change direction and almost hit another person, then you say "opa desculpe", kind of "Oops sorry".
