    When I say to others "You will fart my testicles", they have no clue. "Three are singing and two are dancing" makes absolutely no sense of course.

      @@harmonwatson7511 You're not bothering me at all, I'm half American myself so I get it (I said I was greek before cause I've been raised all my life in Greece). The best way to learn any kind of language is by maximizing your input. In other words learn some basic grammar, basic sentence structure and basic vocabulary. Then just immerse yourself, either by talking to locals, or by watching various tv shows or dramas in greek, without subtitles. I for example, learnt English by watching pewdiepie and by chatting with others. After a while doing that, you naturally build upon your current knowledge and without realizing it you've learned a new language. Anki is also an option to learn vocabulary faster because at first it may seem overwhelming, but I haven't tried it myself. So that's all I know actually. I hope this is helpful to you.

      When you cook fava, it turns from beans into a solid mass like mashed potatoes. So if someone took food out of the pot without asking mother, she could tell because there was a pit in the food, even though the child swore he didn't eat without asking. So when a situation looks suspicious, you say: There's a pit in the fava!

    I was born in raised in Vancouver, Canada. I only know a little Greek (family from there) but the funny thing about having Greek relatives is, it doesn't matter if they know you don't speak the language, they'll speak it to you and understanding becomes your problem. I also had the fun of explaining to my girlfriend when she met my family that no, they're not about to kill each other, my parents are just having a very loud conversation about preparing dinner.

    As for the "your bad weather", it is connected with the "Τρικυμία εν κρανίω", meaning "Tempest/Storm in your head. Since people say that their "mind is traveling", both "Tempest/Storm in your head/mind" and "your bad weather" mean that "you are not thinking correctly". Once again, a perfect saying which makes sense both in Greek and English.

    • @thesecretlibrary890
      @thesecretlibrary890 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nope, you actually in fact completely made up a stupid nonsense "theory". "Καιρός" here means actually "time" rather than "weather" so it is really "(The) bad your time (to be)!" and it is actually a curse, an evil miserable thing to say. Then the newer generations took it from their grandparents and started using it nonsensically and semi-casually. It wasn't supposed to be casual but monkey see monkey do.

    • @4400seriesFAN
      @4400seriesFAN 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@thesecretlibrary890 The use of "Καιρός" as "times" is newer than the original use for "weather". It is also used like "times" only in slang and slang-philosophy. As a formal connection, it is linked with the phrase "to hell with you", which suggests a bad situation and NOT a time period. So, yeah, I'm right. The wikipedia definition of the phrase supports your theory, but it is wrong.

    Haha, I love this one (it's a bit vulgar though):
    Χέστηκε η φοράδα στ'αλώνι / Χέστηκε η Φατμέ στο Γενί Τζαμί
    (Hestike i forada st'aloni / Hestike i Fatme sto Yeni Jami)
    (The mare shat herself on the threshing floor / Fatme shat herself in Yeni Jami)
    Both are usually a response to someone when they talk about something unimportant, as in "who cares, really" or "nobody gives a flying f***" lol.

    Every one of these sayings has a story.
    The "frying fish on the lips" is never said as a threat. It is said when describing torture, or when the punishment far exceeds the crime.
    It dates back to Byzantine times, when a monk was caught cheating during the fast of Great Lent.
    The other monks stuffed his mouth with burning coals and... fried fish on his lips.
    So, when we say : s/he fried fish on their lips" that is describing someone who is being overly vengeful or torturous.

    “Whore combs her hair while the whole neighborhood is on fire” , “I will make you dance like bear on hot pan(tepsi)” …many of those sayings exist in Turkish too and it is not surprising to us and Greeks. But one of my fav is “Bahtsiz deveyi çölde kutup ayısı […]kermiş” which mean “ unfortunate Bedouin gets raped by polar bear in the middle of dessert” which is said for someone who is always hapless, unlucky and unfortunate under any and impossible circumstances.
