Lina plays a waiter at a taverna in Athens

Lina

Καλησπέρα! Τι θα πάρετε;

Say it: Kalispéra! Ti tha párete?

EN: Good evening! What will you have?

You

Μια χωριάτικη σαλάτα και νερό, παρακαλώ.

Say it: Mia choriátiki saláta kai neró, parakaló.

EN: A Greek salad and water, please.

Lina

Αμέσως! Κάτι άλλο;

Say it: Amésos! Káti állo?

EN: Right away! Anything else?

✅ “παρακαλώ” = perfect - please (it also means “you're welcome”)

💡 Tip: The Greek question mark looks like an English semicolon (;). And “parakaló” means both please and you're welcome.

Why Greek is different

New alphabet, familiar words

The Greek alphabet takes a few days, and you already know many words (telephone, music). Lina adds Latin letters when you ask.

Esý vs eseís

Use eseís (polite / plural you) with elders and strangers, esý with friends.

Real life, not textbook

Tavernas, ferries, the periptero kiosk, Easter with family — not just "the cat is on the table."
