A 5 drachme coin used to be called a "Τάλιρο". Would a 5-euro bill be referred to the same way? Thank you.

Thank you very much friends. I really appreciate it.

These are interesting. I wouldn't have thought of these. So if one wanted to say "class reunion" what would the word for "class" be? :unsure: Thank you!

The phrases "Family Reunion" or "Class Reunion"-- what would be the closest equivalent in Greek, friends? "Οικογενειακή Συγκέντρωση" sounds a little odd. I'm wondering if there is something more appropriate? Thank you. Cosmas

Thank you antongoun. I really appreciate it.

Good morning friends, Is the right way to say "I heard the very good but not at all suprising news that your daughter got in to the University of Athens" "άκουσα τα πολύ καλά αλλά καθόλου απροσδόκητα νέα ότι η κόρη σου μπέικε στο Πανεπιστήμιο Αθηνών." Thanking you in advance... Cosmas

Thank you to both. This is very helpful.

Thank you to both of you. I really appreciate it.

Good morning friends, In English the symbol for "times" is "x". For example, 3 x 4 = 12. In Greek would you use "χ" or "*" or something else? Thanking you in advance...

Can someone please articulate to me what the word "χέρωμα" means? I am seeing it in book about the geography of a hilly town and having trouble finding its definition in the dictionaries. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Marino. I really appreciate it.

Hello friends, What is the closest phrase in Greek to "Disturbing the Peace" which in English is used both as a legal phrase for when recurring noise disturbs a neighbor like a barking dog and colloquially? I am wondering if there is one phrase used in both a legal and colloquial context or if...

Thank you daeman. I really appreciate it.

Thank you, daeman. I'm still a little confused, though, particularly with when to use "πλάτος". If an object has only 2 dimensions like a photograph, or an image projected on a screeen, would you say "μήκος" for the horizontal dimension from side to side, and "πλάτος" for the other...

Two for one day, if I may :-) -- If you want say "I want to meet you discreetly" or "Privately" to have a conversation that's discreet, the only word I can think of is "διακριτικά" but I'm not sure that's right. Any thoughts would be appreciated. "Θέλω να σας δω διακριτικά"

The words for measurement are length, width and thickness. In Greek they are Μήκος, Πλάτος και Πάχος right? There are no others right? If you want to specify the dimensions of a picture frame, though, or a painting, you would want to say length, height and thickness. Would you use Πλάτος for...

Nickel, the phrase "Appeal to his conscience" also comes to mind. Or "I am appealing to your conscience"

Zazula, I wonder if I can probe some more on this subject? About "I have credit" at a store... if you go in to a store would you say "Εχω πίστωση μαζι σας"? Or if you have credit with an airline would you say the same thing? If you want a credit receipt would you ask for "Μου δείνεται μια...

Thank you, Zazula. I know this was a difficult one.

"I have credit" is an important concept in today's day and age :-) . When used simply enough to mean "I have credit at the pharmacy because I returned a product I didn't like" or for "I have credit at the St George Hotel for a reservation I didn't use last year during the pandemic" to "I have...
