READ AND GUESS

Éla

Éla is an everyday expression that literally means ‘come’ or ‘come now’. It’s used as a greeting, to ask someone a question, or as an expression of disbelief (the latter is particularly common at football and basketball games). If you want one Greek slang word that will help you in almost every situation, éla is it.

Some nice phrases

Telios / Telia

Meaning ‘perfect’ in English, telios or telia is used to express happiness and contentment in a range of circumstances. For example, if a waiter asks how you enjoyed your meal you might say that everything was telia.

Some nice phrases

Aragma

Translated as the ‘act of chilling’, aragma is a great casual word to know when hanging out with Greek friends. For example, if you were on the beach you might say to your friend ‘pame gia aragma spiti sou‘, which means ‘let’s go chill at your place.’

Some nice phrases

Ya

Ya is the shortened version of yassas, which means ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’. Ya is the equivalent of hi and bye: a chilled, friendly way of speaking to someone as you arrive or leave. If you’re in a hurry or feeling happy you might also use it twice in a row for extra emphasis: ‘ya ya.’

Some nice phrases

Yamas!

Any time that you find yourself toasting at supper or a bar, yamas is a word that will be useful. The equivalent of ‘cheers’, you’ll find it difficult to say without a smile on your face.

Some nice phrases

Halara

The art of halara is one the most revered aspects of Greek life. It means to take it easy, and you might use it when speaking about yourself, or when giving a friend the advice to relax.

Some nice phrases

S’ Oreos

If you want a saying that is stronger than ‘I like you’ without romantic connotations, then S’ Oreos is a useful word. The English equivalent would be a saying such as ‘you’re a good egg’, meaning that you respect the other person’s character and approach to life.
