I think you mean "κόνα", which in Pontic Greek is used as a respectful address for an older woman, similar to "madam" or "lady". It's typically used as a prefix before a woman's name to show deferrence to her age or social standing. Due to time constraints I can't do a proper search at the...

Given that the term "απόλυτες διαστάσεις" is commonly used in architecture to refer to absolute dimensions (in contrast to relative dimensions), it might be a safer bet to use something more descriptive such as: Απαγορεύεται οποιαδήποτε απόκλιση από τις διαστάσεις Albeit a bit stern, at least...

I had also wanted to add (but was interrupted whist writing my previous post) that, in other words, as has already been alluded to by m_a_a (#7), να acts as a subjunctive marker: με αποτέλεσμα + να + subjunctive It's one of those structures where Greek requires the subjunctive. Once you get...

That's a good and thorough explanation by m_a_a. To put it more succintly, να introduces the result clause. It signals that what follows expresses the outcome of the situation described. To further illustrate, a parallel, slightly clearer example would be: έπεσα τρέχοντας στο μαγαζί με...

Κι άλλοι εδώ μέσα με έχουν περάσει για γυναίκα, όχι όμως να με μπερδεύουν και με την SBE. :-):cool:

Καλοοοοό!:-)

I think that to a certain extent it's synonymous with μουγκρητό/μούγκρισμα. At least where I come from the mooing of a cow or bull is referred to as "μουγκρητό".:-)

Also for "honk", perhaps, "γρύλισμα" (verb γρυλίζω), which is used to describe the call of a pig and a few other animals. Figuratively, it is applied to humans, too.

Not really sure about this one, just a few meanderings to get the ball rolling. I think that in most cases "wheeze-honk" functions as a compound noun, combining two nouns—a wheeze and a honk—into a single unit to describe a specific, multi-part sound. A wheeze in Greek is called "σύριγμα" or...

The other term which had escaped me the other day but is quite commonly used is "δωρεάν στέγαση" (free housing/accommodation). @SBE, I'll grant it to you, it was a good find.😊

You're right SBE, I may have misread your post. I was just making a point that "free-of charge" doesn't exist for the tax authorities in these situations - unless the home is occupied by first degree relatives.

Για παράδειγμα: ☺

Δεν νομίζω να υπάρχει ένας μοναδικός, αυστηρά κωδικοποιημένος κανόνας. Η επικρατέστερη μορφή, νομίζω είναι το «Σσς». (Και ακολουθούμενο συνήθως από θαυμαστικό - Σσς! ή αποσιωπητικά - Σσς...). Μερικοί χρησιμοποιούν τέσσερα ή και περισσότερα γράμματα, (π.χ. Σσσς), συνήθως για να δείξουν έναν...

Δωρεάν παραχωρημένη κατοικία is a formal tax status. It typically applies to a relative who is a landlord, allowing other relatives to live in the property rent free (eg. adult children living in a second property owned by the parents) . It is legally recognized as a non-taxable event for the...

Keeping the casual, conversational tone, this can be expressed more concisely as: αλλά ήταν/αποτελούσε παροχή* του εργοδότη μου. *While "προνόμιο" is a direct translation of "privilege," in a work context, Greeks almost always use "παροχή" to describe job perks like a car or housing etc.

Or more accurately, when an employee is required to live on-site or in very close proximity to their work place, for the execution of their occupational roles and responsibilities (eg. military personnel, diplomats etc.). Edit: And boarding housemasters I presume.

I'm not aware that there's a direct equivalent in Greek. The only thing that comes to mind at the moment are descriptive phrases such as: "κατοικία που παρέχεται από τον εργοδότη/την εταιρεία" ie. residence provided by the employer/company or "παρεχόμενη κατοικία από εταιρεία/τον εργοδότη"...
