| INTRODUCTION |
| Eric: Must-Know Greek Social Media Phrases Season 1. Lesson 3 - Playing Sports. |
| Eric: Hi everyone, I'm Eric. |
| Chrissi: And I'm Chrissi. |
| Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to post and leave comments in Greek about playing sports. Σωτήρης (Sotíris) plays with his friends at the beach, posts an image of it, and leaves this comment: |
| Chrissi: Πετάει η ομάδα! (Petái i omáda!) |
| Eric: Meaning - "The team rocks!" Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Σωτήρης (Sotíris)'s post. |
| Chrissi: Πετάει η ομάδα! (Petái i omáda!) |
| Eric: "The team rocks!" |
| Chrissi: (SLOW) Πετάει η ομάδα! (Petái i omáda!) (Regular) Πετάει η ομάδα! (Petái i omáda!) |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "flies" |
| Chrissi: πετάει (petái) |
| Eric: Although this verb form means "flies" in the 3rd person singular, what it actually means in this context is that the team is winning with a great difference. Listen again- "flies" is... |
| Chrissi: (SLOW) πετάει (petái) (REGULAR) πετάει (petái) |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "the team." |
| Chrissi: η ομάδα (i omáda) |
| Eric: You can use this phrase, meaning "the team", as it is in many contexts. It doesn't have to involve sports. For example, you could use this phrase when you post a picture of you with your colleagues or a group of people that you hang out with. |
| Chrissi: "Η ομάδα." |
| Eric: Listen again- "the team" is... |
| Chrissi: (SLOW) η ομάδα (i omáda) (REGULAR) η ομάδα (i omáda) |
| Eric: All together, "The team rocks!" |
| Chrissi: Πετάει η ομάδα! (Petái i omáda!) |
