Thank you, guys. I see the word "ταπετσέρης" but is there a more colloquial word the equivalent of, maybe, "tailor". If I want to say I'm looking for a _____ who can do upholstery, could I use "μοδίστρα" but that is only for a woman, right? Is there a more gender neutral word for someone who...

Hi Zazula, Thank you for the link. I am looking for something positive. What is the connotation of "τους έχω όλους απίκο" and "Τους έχω στην τσίτα;¨ Do they imply that the manager is a bit of a tyrant? Thank you :)

Thank you to both of you. This is very helpful.

Hello friends, I wonder if I could ask for some guidance on the best way to refer to a "property manager" in Greek? Not a real estate agent, but the person who actually takes care of a property on behalf of someone else who is the owner, finds tenants, rents it and takes care of any repairs...

Thank you, all. These are great suggestions.

Good morning friends, If you have a situation where an outsider wants to be included in a preexisting group that you have some control over and you're trying to tell that person "I can't impose you on the group" would the best way to do that be "Δεν μπορώ να σε επιβάλω στην ομάδα." or if you...

Good morning friends, This may be an easy one -- or not-- but I am trying to find the words for "Thank you for the ride" to say to a friend who gave my wife and me a ride to a distant town recently. The only thing that comes to mind is "Ευχαριστώ για το ταξίδι" but that doesn't sound right...
