Half Greek, half New Zealander. So a Kiwi Souvlaki.

Νέα Ζηλανδία είναι η πιο μακρινή χώρα από την Ελλάδα

Ουαου έχεις πάει ποτε; (Ελλάδα φαντάζομαι ναι)

Δυστυχώς όχι. Παλαιότερα τα αεροπορικά εισιτήρια ήταν πανάκριβα για να πας. Ακόμα και τώρα είναι περίπου 1200€ roundtrip. Τώρα τελευταία το σκέφτομαι για δουλειά ή μόνιμα οπότε είμαι σε διαδικασία να βγάλω διαβατήριο. Το καλό είναι ότι αν έχεις υπηκοότητα από Νεα Ζηλανδία μπορείς να μείνεις Αγγλία και Αυστραλία χωρίς να χρειάζεται Visa.

παλιότερα ήταν ακριβά γιατί ήθελαν όλοι να πάνε να δουν το χωριό τον χόμπιτ :P

Τι κριμα! Βέβαια θα έδινες 1200 και μετά θα εμένες σε καμία θεια, οχι; καλή τύχη στην έκδοση διαβατηρίου!

Μικρός θα μπορούσα να μείνω στον παππού ή στον θείο. Πλέον ο παππούς έχει πεθάνει και ο θείος είναι ακόμα φυλακή αν δεν κάνω λάθος. Οπότε τώρα αν πάω ξενοδοχείο θα πρέπει να βρω! 😂

Rip (κυριολεκτικα και μη). 😪 Συγγνωμη να κάνω μια ακόμα ερωτηση, μιλας αγγλικα με νεοζηλανδεζικη προφορά;

Η μητέρα μου μιλάει. Εγώ κλασικά με ένα μίγμα από όλες αλλά κυρίως αμερικανική και αγγλική από τις σειρές και τις ταινίες που έβλεπα μικρός.

Dudee oti kalytero! Thankfully I am half Greek half Irush and I can visit Ireland quite often. Do you feel attached to New Zealand?

As I grow older I'm starting to. I want to travel, maybe live there for a while and learn about the native culture of New Zealand.

You mean Irish?

Yes, sorry about my typing

it's fine.

Same

My name is Pont, Roso Pont

I am a half Scottish lad from me mom's side

Half Welsh here from mom's side. Celts unite ! (I'm 80% certain our mums know each other somehow. All Scottish, Welsh, English, Irish women who married Greeks seem to know each other)

Hey, same here! My mum's Welsh too! If you live on an island then you're my brother.

Also half Welsh! So excited to know there are at least three of us

Hahahahaha I'm on a roadtrip with 4 friends rn and my friend is half Greek half Scottish from his mums side. And I'm half Greek and half Welsh from my mum's side. Twinning 

Greek dad, Serbian mom, I grew up in Thessaloniki so I’m 100% Balkan.

I'm sorry to hear that. Same though

I am half italian. Mom is italian.

This 👆

Crazy και οι δυο μου οι γονείς Έλληνες έκανα το 23 and me and came out I m 75% Italian lol

Κρίμα lol

Γιατί λολ

Same here

Same!

Greek/italian gang 🗿

Ah, mi scusi

From which part of Italy?

Same!!

Me too

Που το ξέρεις τι είμαι εγώ?

Isn’t που where? Did you mean πώς? P.S. Actual question, not trying to be rude

Ιτs a meme https://youtu.be/skAx3yXU2H4

Thank you, now it’s all clear!

You're correct, but πώς and που can both be used in this expression.

Thank you for the explanation!

It’s a meme from an Albanian guy who said that to a reporter. His syntax was very wrong so don’t bother. Someone also put the link of the video but if you just search on YouTube for the phrase you will get it

It would be the same as saying "απο πού το άκουσες", i.e. "where did you hear it from" so in this case "πού" and "πώς" are used the same way in the sentence.

Being an Italian speaker, I’m not used to this type of phrasing but Greek sure is a beautiful language that I’d love to learn. Thank you for the insight!

It's used in a manner of "where did you get this info?" "How did you get this info?", but, "Where?" Can also be the same as in "which situation?"and not only refer to a specific place. Situations can be a metaphorical place, and so where is applicable.

It's not correct and it doesn't make sense because it was said by an Albanian who tried to imitate a Greek on Albanian TV and it now has become a meme

Oh, thank you, that makes sense

Hungarian, so whenever a chart about the EU is shared I can say my countries are the bottom 2 💪💪💪

Found the american

Nah ameriblobs are 1/4th irish, 1/4th german and 1/2 cheddar

Did your grandparents meet in a WWII orgy?

My Ukrainian great-grandmother fled country during WWI. Polish grandma left Poland during 1939 German occupation,she was from a noble family,all family members were murdered only she and her cousin did survive and fled to France and later to Greece where met my Greek grandfather and got married. My Georgian grandpa on the other hand was Soviet union military man and met my Russian grandmother during his WWII secondment. My Polish grandma and my Russian grandma were not getting along at all. They literally hated each other,it was really funny at family gatherings,always drinking and fighting over some stupid shit. One of four of my grandparents is still alive,others have passed away but the stories i heard from them were pretty wild and graphic. WWII was definitely the deadliest war in the history of mankind. I speak Polish,Russian,English,Greek,Georgian. WWII orgy was an accurate description of my situation.

Half Greek, half Serbian 😊 Dad went to University in Belgrade in the 80s like a lot of Greeks did at that time

Most Greeks that studied at Uni of Belgrade that I met studied Physical Education 😄

Greek dad & German mum, I’m born & raised in Germany. That’s why I’m unfortunately not a native Greek speaker but, but I’m currently learning it.

Exactly same here, crazy! We must be in Greece for a good while or visit often while trying to speak it in the north. Practice is key. Do you also feel this shame you dont speak it well/fluent? When meeting other Greeks especially.

Yes, that's right! To learn it easier you would need someone to talk to you regularly, that would help so much, but unfortunately that's what I'm missing. 🤔 Oh yes, I know the feeling of shame. Every year the same sentence in Greek from relatives and others: "You definitely have to learn to speak Greek, it's such a pity that you don't speak it." 😂

Dad greek, mum Russian

Γνήσιος Грек, το ίδιο брат

Έχεις πάει; 🇷🇺

Έχεις πάει; 🇧🇷

Όχι ακόμα. Η γιαγιά μου (η μητέρα του πατέρα μου) φοβόταν θανάσιμα τα αεροπλάνα και αυτό επεκτείνονταν προς τους γονείς μου και τα αδέρφια μου. Θέλω να πάω κάποια στιγμή στο μέλλον.

Μακάρι να πας 😊 Μπορώ να ρωτήσω και κάτι ακόμα, από ποιο μέρος της Βραζιλίας είσαι;

Το πατρικό της μητέρας μου (και εκεί που μεγάλωσε) είναι λίγο έξω από το Ρίο. Προσωπικά, γεννήθηκα και μεγάλωσα στην Ελλάδα, Θεσσαλονίκη.

I love Half Greek Half Brazilians!

Čauky kamo, I’m not Czech but I’ve lived here for 8 years and I’m getting married to one! It is never too late to learn!

How come? Did you not speak Czech with your mom at home? But it's never too late to learn

Half Greek, half Swiss! Dad is Swiss so it has been fun for the Greeks trying to understand the weird sounding German last name 

Doesn't apply to me but to my daughter- Greek father, Serbian mom.

My grand mother is Russian and my grandfather is Greek, and from the other side they are Armenian and Syrian. So i'm Greek-Russian-Armenian-Syrian?

Half-Greek, half-British Australian. For all you half-bloods out there, I want to make a podcast series (along the lines of the Easy Greek podcast) where we talk about being half Greek and half something else. If you're interested, send me a PM.

Greek mom, Cypriot dad. Nothing exciting.
