To preface: I know it’s a stupid tattoo, that’s why I got it, but I guess what I mean is would they think I’M stupid. I know it’s green beans.

It’s an inside joke between my mom and I. Neither of us is Greek fluent but we’re learning, and so she likes to say it around the house because she thinks it has the cadence of a swear word. I thought it would be charming to get it inked on the middle finger as if it were a serious “f*** off” knowing it’s really nothing rude at all. (Also some Americans say “oh beans” as an extremely mild cuss, so I thought that was an extra layer of comedy.)

It never occurred to me I might ever actually go to Greece, and now that I’m planning a trip I’m worried our family there is going to think I’m an idiot lol would I be judged too harshly for this?? At the very least it’s not offensive, right?

There’s a lot to translate here but this is extremely sentimental to me and my family. My great grandfather was executed for his communist beliefs. If somebody could please find the time to translate this I would greatly appreciate it. I tried to use AI nothing delivered an accurate response. Thank you.

Italian beginner here. Silly question, but I'm trying to understand exactly what μακαρόνια indicates. Is it more or less generally pasta (that's what I understood so far?) or does it mean something more specific? I have seen it used mostly for spaghetti, though, yet by ear it sounds like maccheroni to me. I'm just very confused.

This is the first longer text I've tried to do in greek, and I'm wondering if some of my letters are readable, because I find myself struggling with writing them

Guys, could you please help me to get Greek one in Greek? I would like to use it so bad. 😅

Can anyone translate this for me please?

Yassas 😄 can someone translate the note?

Today is not just a date. It is memory, blood, and a flame that never faded. March 25 reminds us that freedom is never given—it is earned through struggle, sacrifice, and belief in something greater than ourselves. The people who stood against an empire were not mythical heroes; they were ordinary, afraid, yet determined. That is what makes their victory heavier, more real.

Today, we may not fight with weapons, but the responsibility remains the same: to remember, to resist complacency, and to keep alive what once united us. Because freedom is never guaranteed—it is a choice we make every single day.

“Happy anniversary to our homeland—our Greece.”

I started learning Greek in June last year. Main sources being Duolingo (however I know it's not the best, so I mainly steal it's vocabulary, then put it in google to use it in a context), this subreddit, chatGPT and a greek magazine called καλημέρα which is the work of one of our greek communities.

Would you guys and gals be so kind and rate my handwriting? (I mean ... feel free to roast) It doesn't only have to be the handwriting...your constructive criticism will help me a lot and will be much appreciated.

Ευχαριστώ πολύ και καλή σας ημέρα <3

Who out there needs to learn Greek from the Medievil time?

It's supposed to be Spanish. My eyes hurt just by looking at it 😣

The Greco-Australian dialect is a dialect of Greek spoken by Greek Australians. Though the majority of the language is the same (it doesn’t differ as much as a dialect like Cypriot Greek), many common nouns are anglicised, with some of the most common ones being κάρο (αυτοκίνητο), μαρκέτα (αγορά) and τικέτο (εισιτήριο), for example.

The extent to which words are anglicised can depend on the speaker and their fluency in Greek. While some Greek Australians may only use a few from the example list above, some may use many.

The oddity of the dialect is that it’s not just first and second-generation Greek Australians who use it, but Greek immigrants as well!

Did you know about this dialect?
