Hello everyone and welcome to another video and one of the most important videos of greekpod101.com, today, we will talk about the 25 most popular phrases that we use in Greek. So pay careful attention because you’re going to need them.

11. Ευχαριστώ. (Efharistó.) "Thank you."
12. Ναι. (Ne.) "Yes."
“You will give me the car.”
