Q

Have a good trip.
I’m not leaving yet.

A

Καλό ταξίδι.
Δεν φεύγω ακόμη.

## Footnote

Both "ακόμη" and "ακόμα" are correct forms in Modern Greek, and they are often used interchangeably. The choice between them is a matter of preference or regional variations. Both versions convey the same meaning of "yet" or "still" in English. So, whether you say "Δεν φεύγω ακόμη" or "Δεν φεύγω ακόμα," your sentence remains grammatically correct, and both versions are widely accepted.

Q

What is her name?
Maria Stephanou

A

Πως την λένε?
Μαρία Στεφάνου

ChatGPT says:
the sentence “Πως τη λένε;” is also grammatically correct in Modern Greek. The difference between “την λένε;” and “τη λένε;” lies in the use of the definite article. Both forms are commonly used, and either one is acceptable. The pronunciation you mentioned is also correct and reflects a variation in everyday speech. So, feel free to use either “Πως την λένε;” or “Πως τη λένε;” to ask about someone’s name.

26
Q

See you!
( formal & informal )

A

θα τα πούμε! (formal)
Τα λέμε! (informal)

## Footnote

**NOTE:**

Both sentences are common ways to say "See you!" or "We'll talk!" in Greek, but if we translate them literally:

"Θα τα πούμε!" – Literally: "We will say them!"
(Here, "τα" refers to "things" that we will say in the future, implying we'll talk again or see each other soon.)

"Τα λέμε!" – Literally: "We say them!"
(This implies an ongoing or immediate plan to talk or meet, often used like "See you!" in English.)

27
Q

Is Mr Manos in his office?
Is Alexis in his office?

A

Ο κύριος Μάνος είναι στο γραφείο του;
Ο Αλέξης είναι στο γραφείο του;

28
Q

He hasn’t come yet.

A

Δεν έχει έρθει ακόμη.

έρθει is the past participle form of έρχομαι

This sentence is in the present perfect tense, not shown in the attached conjugation table.

29
Q

And you, would you like a coffee? (formal)
Yes, please, with a little milk.

A

Και εσείς, θα θέλατε έναν καφέ;
Ναι, παρακαλώ, με λίγο γάλα.

30
Q

Do you take sugar?
No, I don’t take sugar.

A

Όχι, δεν βάζω ζάχαρη.

31
Q

Has Alexis come?
Not yet.

A

Ο Αλέξης έχει έρθει;
Οχι ακόμη.

32
Q

He isn’t in his office yet.

A

Δεν είναι στο γραφείο του ακόμη.

33
Q

He’s not here at the moment.
Too bad, I have a coffee for him
and it is still warm.

A

Δεν είναι εδώ αυτή τη στιγμή.
Κρίμα, έχω εναν καφέ για αυτόν
και είναι ακόμη ζεστός.

‘για αυτόν’ is pronounced as one word: IAFTÓN

34
Q

His coffee is still hot.

A

Ο καφές του είναι ακόμη ζεστός.

35
Q

He hasn’t come yet.

A

Δεν έχει έρθει ακόμη.

έρθει is the past participle of the verb έρχομαι

36
Q

It’s too bad, because I have a coffee for him and it is still hot.

A

Είναι κρίμα, γιατί έχω έναν καφέ για αυτόν και είναι ακόμη ζεστός.

37
Q

Is your coffee cold?
No, it’s still hot.

A

Είναι κρύος ο καφές σας;
Όχι, είναι ακόμη ζεστός.

38
Q

I like hot coffee.

A

Μου αρέσει ο ζεστός καφές.

39
Q

I don’t like cold coffee.

A

Δεν μου αρέσει ο κρύος καφές.

NOTE

In the sentence ‘Δεν μου αρέσει ο κρύος καφές,’ the phrase ‘ο κρύος καφές’ is in the nominative case.

In Greek, when expressing likes or dislikes with verbs such as “αρέσει” (I like), the subject of the sentence is what is liked or disliked, which is why ‘ο κρύος καφές’ is in the nominative case, even though the construction may feel reversed compared to English.

40
Q

Where is Alexis?

A

Πού είναι ο Αλέξης;

41
Q

I have a coffee for him.

A

Έχω έναν καφέ για αυτόν.

(‘για αυτόν’ is pronounced iafton)

42
Q

Do you know Alexis well?

A

Ξέρετε καλά τον Αλέξη.

43
Q

I don’t know him but his wife is a friend of mine.

A

Δεν τον ξέρω αλλά η γυναίκα του είναι φίλη μου.

44
Q

I saw her on Thursday, after work.

A

Την είδα την Πέμπτη, μετά τη δουλειά.

45
Q

We saw a good film.

A

Είδαμε ένα καλό έργο.
‘έργο’ is neuter gender.

So far, I have been using the word ‘ταινία’ because I couldn’t find the word for cinema that Pimsleur uses.
ταινία is a correct name for film, but Pimsleur uses ‘έργο’, so that’s the term I’ll use henceforth.

I have now found how the word is spelled: έργο
We saw a good film: Είδαμε ένα καλό έργο.

έργο:
(θέατρ.) play
(σινεμά) film
(μουσ. αριθμημένη σύνθεση) opus

Bard, Google’s Ai, says:
* Use “ταινία” for most everyday conversation and for referring to films in general.
* Use “έργο” in formal contexts, for discussions about filmmaking as an art form, or for specific types of films like art films and classics.

46
Q

I have something for him.

A

Έχω κάτι για αυτόν.

47
Q

Do you want the coffee?
Is it hot?
Your (female) colleague says: No, now it’s cold.
(translate the last line as is, in its entirety.)

A

Θέλετε τον καφέ;
Είναι ζεστός?
Η συνάδελφός σας λέει: Όχι, τώρα είναι κρύος.

48
Q

I don’t like cold coffee.

A

Δεν μου αρέσει ο κρύος καφές.

49
Q

I know why Alexis isn’t in his office.
He’s on vacation!

A

Ξέρω γιατί ο Αλέξης δεν είναι στο γραφείο του.
Είναι διακοπές!

50
Q

Thanks for the coffee.
You’re welcome.

A

Ευχαριστώ για τον καφέ.
Παρακαλώ!
