| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Σωτήρης (Sotíris)'s post. |
| Chrissi: Σαν σήμερα πριν από έναν χρόνο παντρεύτηκα τη γυναίκα της ζωής μου. (San símera prin apó énan hróno pandréftika ti yinéka tis zoís mu.) |
| Eric: "A year ago today, I married the woman of my life." |
| Chrissi: (SLOW) Σαν σήμερα πριν από έναν χρόνο παντρεύτηκα τη γυναίκα της ζωής μου. (San símera prin apó énan hróno pandréftika ti yinéka tis zoís mu.) (Regular) Σαν σήμερα πριν από έναν χρόνο παντρεύτηκα τη γυναίκα της ζωής μου. (San símera prin apó énan hróno pandréftika ti yinéka tis zoís mu.) |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "a year ago today." |
| Chrissi: σαν σήμερα πριν από έναν χρόνο (san símera prin apó énan hróno) |
| Eric: You should pay close attention to the word order in Greek as it is different from the equivalent expression in English. The part that can change, depending on the amount of time you want to express, is the last part, in this case… |
| Chrissi: έναν χρόνο, |
| Eric: … meaning "one year." Listen again- "a year ago today" is... |
| Chrissi: (SLOW) σαν σήμερα πριν από έναν χρόνο (san símera prin apó énan hróno) (REGULAR) σαν σήμερα πριν από έναν χρόνο (san símera prin apó énan hróno) |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "I married the woman of my life." |
| Chrissi: παντρεύτηκα τη γυναίκα της ζωής μου (pandréftika ti yinéka tis zoís mu) |
| Eric: Greeks also say "woman of my life" or "man of my life" to show their partners how much they mean to them. So if your significant other is Greek, you can use these expressions. Not only will it surprise them, it'll melt their hearts! Listen again- "I married the woman of my life" is... |
| Chrissi: (SLOW) παντρεύτηκα τη γυναίκα της ζωής μου (pandréftika ti yinéka tis zoís mu) (REGULAR) παντρεύτηκα τη γυναίκα της ζωής μου (pandréftika ti yinéka tis zoís mu) |
| Eric: All together, "A year ago today, I married the woman of my life." |
| Chrissi: Σαν σήμερα πριν από έναν χρόνο παντρεύτηκα τη γυναίκα της ζωής μου. (San símera prin apó énan hróno pandréftika ti yinéka tis zoís mu.) |
