In this episode, you will hear a dialogue at the λαϊκή αγορά and phrases we use while shopping. We also give you a bit of the background of how a Greek λαϊκή αγορά is.


E: Γεια σας κυρία Δανάη! Τι θέλετε να πάρετε σήμερα; Έχω πολλά φρέσκα λαχανικά και πολύ νόστιμα φρούτα./ Hello, Mrs. Danae! What would you like to get today? I have a lot of fresh vegetables and very tasty fruits.

D: Πρώτα πρώτα θέλω μελιτζάνες για μουσακά. Έχεις; / First of all, I want eggplants for moussaka. Do you have any?

E: Έχω έχω και πολύ φρέσκιες. Πόσες μελιτζάνες θέλετε; / Yes, I have plenty of fresh ones. How many eggplants would you like?

D: Τέσσερις μελιτζάνες παρακαλώ. Πόσο κάνουν οι ντομάτες; Είναι ακριβές; / Four eggplants, please. How much are the tomatoes? Are they expensive?

E: Όχι, κυρία Δανάη μου, φτηνές είναι. Ένα ευρώ και πενήντα λεπτά το κιλό.Τσάμπα πράγμα! / No, Mrs. Danae, they're cheap. They're one euro and fifty cents per kilo. It's practically free!

D: Ωραία! Θέλω ένα κιλό ντομάτες, σκληρές όμως για σαλάτα. Θέλω ακόμη τρία κιλά πατάτες, μισό κιλό καρότα κι ένα κιλό λεμόνια. Έχεις και σκόρδα για τις φακές μου; / Great! I want a kilo of tomatoes, but firm ones for salad. I also want three kilos of potatoes, half a kilo of carrots, and a kilo of lemons. Do you have garlic for my lentils?

E: Βεβαίως! Φρούτα δε θέλετε σήμερα; / Of course! Don't you want any fruit today?

D: Θέλω και φρούτα. Ζυγίζεις αυτό το καρπούζι, Νεκταρία μου;/ I want fruit too. Can you weigh this watermelon for me, Nektaria?

E: Είναι τέσσερα τα κιλά και 200 γραμμάρια. / It's four kilograms and 200 grams.
