Let's Talk Greek

S3E14: “What did you do today?” The parts of the day in Greek


Listen Later

In today's episode you will learn how to use the time when speaking in Greek. Emily and Danae will first engage in a conversation talking about their busy day and then will give you some more clarity on how we use morning, afternoon, evening and night.


E: Είμαι πολύ κουρασμένη σήμερα. Έχω ξυπνήσει από τις 6:00 το πρωί και δεν έκατσα καθόλου. / I'm very tired today. I woke up at 6:00 in the morning and haven’t rested at all.

D: Γιατί ξύπνησες τόσο νωρίς; / Why did you wake up so early?

Ε: Έπρεπε να ξεκινήσω νωρίτερα για την δουλειά και αντί για 8:00 που φεύγω συνήθως, έφυγα στις 7:00 το πρωί. / I had to start work earlier, and instead of leaving at 8:00 as usual, I left at 7:00 in the morning.

D: Αφού ξεκίνησες νωρίτερα, ελπίζω να γύρισες και νωρίτερα. / Since you started earlier, I hope you got home earlier too.

Ε: Δυστυχώς όχι, γύρισα στο σπίτι στις 6:30 το απόγευμα. / Unfortunately not, I got home at 6:30 in the evening.

D: Πολλές ώρες! Πρόλαβες να φας μεσημεριανό; / That’s a long day! Did you have time for lunch?

Ε: Ευτυχώς έκανα διάλειμμα και έφαγα γύρω στις 2:00 το μεσημέρι. Αλλά πάλι πεινάω και δεν έχω ετοιμάσει ακόμα το βραδινό μου. / Luckily, I took a break and ate around 2:00 in the afternoon. But I’m hungry again, and I haven’t prepared dinner yet.

D: Γιατί δεν φτιάχνεις κάτι γρήγορο να φας; / Why don’t you make something quick to eat?

Ε: Γιατί πρέπει πρώτα να τελειώσω με κάποιες άλλες δουλειές για να μην τις κάνω μέχρι αργά το βράδυ. / Because I have to finish some other tasks first so I don’t end up doing them late at night.

D: Κατάλαβα. Κοίτα, τώρα είναι ήδη 8:30 το βράδυ και εάν δεν φας πρώτα, μάλλον θα φας το βραδινό σου τα μεσάνυχτα. / I see. Look, it’s already 8:30 in the evening, and if you don’t eat first, you’ll probably end up having dinner at midnight.

Ε: Ναι, αλλά αν μαγειρέψω και φάω τώρα, τις δουλειές μου σίγουρα θα τις κάνω στις 2:00 τα ξημερώματα! / Yes, but if I cook and eat now, I’ll be doing my tasks at 2:00 in the morning!

D: Έχεις δίκιο. Φτιάξε κάτι γρήγορο τώρα για να τελειώσεις πριν πάει 10:00 το βράδυ και να προλάβεις να  φας λίγο νωρίτερα. Τι λες;  / You’re right. Make something quick now so you can finish before 10:00 and eat a bit earlier. What do you think?

Ε: Αυτό θα κάνω! Εσύ τι ώρα θα πας για ύπνο; / That’s what I’ll do! What time are you going to bed?

D: Ευτυχώς σήμερα έχω τελειώσει με όλες μου τις υποχρεώσεις από νωρίς και θα κοιμηθώ γύρω στις 10:30 με 11:00 το βράδυ. / Fortunately, I finished all my tasks early today, so I’ll sleep around 10:30 or 11:00 at night.

Ε: Τυχερή! Άντε σε κλείνω για να ξεκινήσω. / Lucky you! Alright, I’ll let you go so I can start.

D: Ναι, ναι! Καλό βράδυ! / Yes, yes! Have a good night!

Ε: Καληνύχτα! Θα τα πούμε αύριο! / Goodnight! Talk to you tomorrow!
