daxi daxi daxi !

O.K. is an acronym. (no duh beth, but for what?).. it stands for Ola Kala.. that’s greek and it means literally “all good”. Well, this is very useful information, not only can I say OK in greek and they’ll understand, but I learned ola means all.. and that that “endaxi” (what I THOUGHT meant okay) actually means, “alright already” -- like in the sense of ‘shut up you’re boring me, I got it I got it’.. which I will do now. But before I do, I will point out that most people here say “daxi daxi daxi” which is a shortened version of the latter. I had wondered why the greeks laugh and smile real big at me when I say it.. now I know.

And the other good news is that I found a big recycling bin near my house and also now understand what the gibberish on it says. “metallo, harti, plastiki, guali” which means aluminum, cartons, plastic, glass..it also said “parakalo ohi skoupidia” which I was relieved to find out means “please no trash”
