Unlocking Greek potential

2.19 | Smooth talking. Mastering filler words

Listen Later

We use filler words when we need time to think about what we will say next. Some common filler words in Greek are: 

  • και 
  • λοιπόν
  • βασικά 
  • ας πούμε 
  • ρε παιδί μου 
  • κοίτα
  • ντάξει 
  • δε μου λες 


You don't need to learn them by heart or use them, but you need to be able to recognize them so you won't get lost in translation.
