Today we'll start with something factual...

Exoumai pollous episkeptes apopse...
We have many guests this evening.

I was just looking at the forum and noticed only Spoty and I were members, 9 others were guests.

How about: "Your eyes are like wells of good fortune." ?? Hehehe.

Hmm.. the phrase you said won't make a lot of sense in Greek ...let me think hmm...

''Ta matia sou einai san thalasses ametrhths eutixias''
Which sounds a bit better in greek and translates to :
Your eyes are like seas of immense happiness
And is pronounced as '' tAh mA-tea-ah soo in-eh sun tha-lah-seh-s ameh-tree-teas eh-ftea-he-as'

Pardon me, i am not great making romantic lines like that lol


Not to worry, Kaltses, I'll write the lines and you, like Christian*, can say the words.

*(from Cyrano de Bergerac)

I would quite like to say seas of good luck rather than happiness, is that possible?

''Ta matia sou einai san thalasses kallhs tyxhs''

Kallhs tyxhs (of good luck/fortune) pronounced as Kah-lee-is tea-his

Good luck= Kalh tyxh (kah-lee tea-he)

Great! Love the new lessons...!!! Confusedmile: :biggrin: Bighug

In Greek you'll just say:
Plastic = Plastikh
or
plastiki xeirourgikh = plastic surgery

Any time = Opotedipote maybe...

Tipota = Nothing
but very often it's used the same way as we use
Parakalo = You're welcome... when someone says thanks.

When someone is visiting,
"Welcome!" = Kalos irthes

This thread is really interesting.
Greek is such a beautiful language.
I'll definitely be checking back here!

If I wanted to tell someone how awesome/great/amazing/fantastic they are... what would be the best way to say it?
Thanks! Big Grin

Eisai fantaskikh ???? or fantastikos ????
I think "h" is the feminine ending "os" the masculine one.

Kaltses?!?!?!?

Aww thanks on behalf of all Greeks :biggrin:

You can say in a romantic or appreciative way You are amazing = Eisai iperoxos pronounced E-seh e-peh-roh-hos to a guy.

to a girl : Eisai iperoxi (correct spelling: yperoxh) pronounced as E-seh e-peh-roh-he
