When you are addressing a monk you would say “γέροντα” right? When addressing a nun would you say “αδελφή” - right? And in Greece is there no distinction between a monastery and a convent? Anotherwords are they both called “μοναστίρια”? Thank you.

I'm coming back to this to ask if there is a word for meetings that elected officials (like mayors, for example) might hold where they discuss issues of common interest? Would "Συνέλευση" be appropriate or something like that?

Reposting on this thread, I want to ask a question that is more cultural than linguistic-- if I may. Does anyone know of a website where one can stream old Greek movies (for a fee) -- particularly the award winning ones that one can't see in cinemas today or find on dvd's? I'm reading a book on...

Is there a word or phrase in Greek for "Citizens Action Groups" like the kind that elected officials meet with to discuss specific topics? For example, after the elections last week, a mayor might meet with such a group to discuss a specific subject like traffic on an island. Is this customary...

In my case I am referring to moving vehicles on a Greek island so there would definitely be no self-driving cars. “Μηχανοκίνητα οχήματα” feels right. I wonder if you all agree?

If one wants to refer to any moving vehicles in general -- collectively -- like cars, motorcycles, and atv's (gourounes) you can use "αυτοκινούμενα οχήματα” but is there anything else? Thank you.

What does that mean, Pontios?

Good morning friends, There are streets on our island where motorcycle riders drive at unbelievably fast and dangerous speeds. What do we call the speed cameras that one sees deployed on the streets that photograph people that are speeding and giving them tickets? I know they exist in the...

I knew that I had posted it before but couldn't find it because of the capital letter.o_O Thank you for pointing that out.

Did I do it again, Pontio? You wrote "Un autre moment de deja vu" but I searched for "Disturbing the Peace" in the Search field and it didn't pull up anything. Is there some other way of searching?

Good morning friends. What would the Greek expression be for "Disturbing the Peace" as when a rooster crows all night or dog barks without stopping? How would one refer to it when speaking to the police? Thank you.

Good morning friends. I know I've touched on this in the other threads (Περαστικά) but I'm wondering if we could address this head on? You have a seriously ill person, maybe elderly, maybe not, that may or may not survive but it's uncertain. They're at the phase of their treatment where it...

Oh, my God. How embarassingo_O I guess I should browse at my own posts before I add new ones! Thank you for your patience!

If you are walking through a store and "just browsing" - anotherwords you are not looking for anything particular but just looking to see what's in the store and if the store clerk asks you if they can help you - what would the Greek phrase be for "just browsing?" It's not "χαζεύουμε" is it?

Thank you for your frankness!

Haha! I'm glad I asked!

Following up on this thread, if someone's spouse is seriously ill and may or may not get well would "Να σας ζήσει" be appropriate or would that only be used for a new born child?

Coming back to this subject, would "Καλή Ανάρρωση" be more appropriate for someone with a life-threatening illness that might or might not be fatal like cancer?
