Hey friend, Dimitris here!
It’s time for your Weekly Sunday Dose of Greek. I’ve got some exciting new Greek words, a fun fact, and a special update for you. Let’s dive into this week’s content and keep learning together!
Greek Quote of the Week
"Τα αγαθά κόποις κτώνται" (Ta agathá kópois któntai) – "Good things come through hard work."
This ancient saying encourages persistence and effort in achieving your goals.
Vocabulary of the Week – Love Edition
Since love is a universal language, here are 10 Greek words and phrases related to love:
- Αγάπη μου (Agápi mou) – My love
- Μωρό μου (Moro mou) – My baby
- Καρδιά μου (Kardiá mou) – My heart
- Αγάπη (Agápi) – Love
- Ζωή μου (Zoí mou) – My life
- Λατρεία μου (Latréia mou) – My adoration

These expressions are great for adding a little romance or affection to your Greek conversations!
Grammar Tip of the Week
When expressing affection in Greek, pay attention to the use of the possessive "μου" (mou). It’s used after a noun or name to say “my,” making your sentence more personal and sweet!
For example:
- "Μωρό μου" (Moro mou) – My baby
- "Αγάπη μου" (Agápi mou) – My love
Fun Fact about Greece
Did you know Greece is one of the sunniest countries in the world? On average, Athens gets over 250 days of sunshine per year. So, if you love warm weather, Greece might just be your paradise!
Dimitris Update
This week, I filmed a fun video with my Greek grandmother where I tested her English! It was hilarious, and I can’t wait to share it with you. The video will be out tomorrow, so stay tuned for some laughs!
Looking forward to sharing more Greek knowledge with you next Sunday! Let’s keep learning together!
Lots of love,
Dimitris
