''Ρε'' is short for ''μωρέ''. Μωρό is the baby. ''Μωρέ'' is the way you call a person who is μωρός (of course we mean the behaviour). So, the way we use it can be translated to ''silly'', but depending on the importance of the matter it can reach the ''stupid'' status. However, ''ρε'' & ''μωρέ'' are more than that. ''Ρε'' is an everyday lingual staple expressing the informality between two people who know each other well (let's say friends), for example ''ρε φίλε'', or ''ρε'' + the friend's name. ''Μωρέ'' is usually used to devalue someone (this is forced informality) (''τι κάνεις εκεί μωρέ!;'', ''μωρέ τι μας λες!'')(here stand the ''silly'' & ''stupid'' adjectives), or to expess your tiredness or frustration from something that stressed you (to a person you know), and (again) devaluing it in order to feel better and overcome it, by just discussing it with your friend (''...κουράστηκα μωρέ''). PS1: you may come across ''ωρέ'', which at times can be both ''ρε'' or ''μωρέ''. It's like using ''ρε'' or ''μωρέ'', but with a touch of awe. A verbal exclamation mark in your sentence, if you will. PS2: ''Ρε'' is strictly informal and is used only between people who know each other. If you ''force'' it to a person you don't know, it is taken as disrespect and then the conversation (which is something greeks love having and honour) will have no rules and most likely it will be cancelled. PS3: Yes, ''moron'' comes from ''μωρός''.
Great video, thanks!
βρε = μωρέ = χαζούλη = θνητέ (mortal).
"Re' and "Mwre" comes from ancient Greek and means stupid. Now it's common and is used more softly, but in the old days our parents didn't even let us use the word "re" in proper sentences. It was considered disrespectful. Funny thing is we call a baby "Mwro" in a good way, but it also comes from the notion that a baby is stupid, doesn't understand, doesn't speak. Greek language has thousands of idioms like this
@@TMPOUZI interesting.. and I guess that's where the English word moron comes from 🤔😄

Hi Leena, the expression "kano salata" you got it all wrong.First of all the expression is "TA ekana salata" is in past tense not in present nor future tense. It is a post realization how you perfomed in a certain situation (i.e. interview,school test etc) and the meaning is that i made (EKANA) the things (TA) like a mess (SALATA) so in free translation i made the things to look like a salad. Definitely is not get used in present or future reference and is not about the action (making a salad) but the outcome (a messed salad)
hi there, i'm from kos island and im 41 years old , watching your video and hearing your story it makes me emotional, 18 years old back then, almost every day in the sea and after bar street! without worries for tomorrow like you said.the most beautiful period of my life!! I briefly lived through that time through your story, thank you so much! (sorry for my english)
@@Bboss83 that's so nice to hear, good memories... 🥳💃🕺

The word "re" actually derives from the ancient greek word "moros" "μωρός" meaning stupid.
Your phonetic/ pronation is perfect

To go nowhere to eat nothng😅😅😅😅
This is actually funny and have not heard that expression for years! The funny part is, the literal translation of this sentence makes no sense and it is absurd and confusing to non-Greeks when you try to interpret it word for word. The intent of this funny expression is whimsical and its purpose is to be an open invitation to a person and it translates to: "Tell me something...why don't you come whenever you feel like it, bring whoever you want, go anywhere you wish and eat whatever you like!" HAPPY TRAILS!

As an older person who has hearing loss, I also do a lot of smiling without understanding what was said. And, lots of others' sentences sound like salads with some ingredient gaps. Good for you for trying to speak Greek. Or as you live in Australia, I should say "Good on you."

Of course cold. The are is and greece ciffe gold not frape.

Hi Leena!Μάστορας=expert=master more or less, or so i think, haha. As for Greek frappe coffee which originates from my city, Thessaloniki and was made by accident back in 1957, it's consumption is partly a geenrational thing, the younger generations ( those I would say that were born from 1990 or maybe even after 1985 and afterwards) mostly stopped dinking frape in favor of other cold coffees, mainly freddo espresso and to some extent freddo cappuccino.It's also a gender thing I thin(g)k.Girls and women almost never drink frappe anymore, not that are many men drinking it, but especially among women it's a very rare thing nowadays.A reason is that frappe out of thin air became the bad coffee, the most unhealthy, in few words tit was stigmatized and demonized so new products flood the market.Definitely a marketing propaganda tactic behind this.I, of course, will never stop drinking the beloved frappe ,, no matter the trends ( of course i drink the others too as a coffee maniac). I am glad to see you also drink it in the summer, it's a must
@@METALSCAVENGER78 thanks for the info! I didn't know that, but it totally makes sense about the marketing. I need my cold frappe in the summertime 😄
@@mylifeinrhodes Likewise, what sick mind would not drink a single frappe in very hot weather for months?It doesn't register in my brain, although I admit I am an addict who doesn't drink less than 4 frappé every day of the year, no matter if it's -10 or + 40😁
@@METALSCAVENGER78 in Finland a person who drinks ten cups of coffee a day is called average 😆
@@mylifeinrhodes My kind of people. 😁.Once I drunk 9 frappe, 2 greek double size cups of greek coffee ( always double sized and almost always 3 cups a day, if not 2 or 4) and one french coffee and I am not even sure this is the record at least for frappe😆.One night I could sleep, so I made a frappe, drunk it and then I slept like α βόδι or a κούτσουρο 😂
@@METALSCAVENGER78 You have reached a pretty high tolerance for caffeine💪 When my mother didn't have coffee, she became physically ill like a drug addict😝 You probably already know that Finns are big fans of heavy metal music. In Finland it's simply called... music 😂
So funny!!
@@alkisfragoulidis7441 😆
In french they say "have right" too. Same with have hunger, have thirst
@@Raylan_323 oh yeah? And in Finnish language the words have and is - is the same word 😆
Also in German.
Yes same in spanish however there is a 'be' version too. Estoy en lo correcto, estoy hambriento, estoy sediento. Thing is when people in english say they are right the translation uses 'razón' which translate to reason. So word by word it might sound like I ve got reason, well obviously you ve got reason. A close translation could be: 'estas correcto' but no one uses it as it weird and might mean that you as a person are correct and not correctness about something you say
Same as in Norwegian.
Thank you

I have only started to watch your videos and haven't seen them all yet.
