D: Παρακαλώ; / Hello?

E: Έλα Δανάη, η Εμιλυ είμαι. Τι κανεις; / Hello Danai, Emily here, how are you?

D: Καλα Εμιλυ μου, εσυ; / I am good Emily, and you?

E: Πολύ καλά! Άκουσα στις ειδήσεις ότι είχατε πολύ άσχημο καιρό εκεί στο Illinois με πολύ χαμηλές θερμοκρασίες και χιόνι. / Very good! I heard on the news that you had bad weather in Illinois with low temperatures and snow.

D: Αχ άσε… έχει τώρα δύο εβδομάδες που η θερμοκρασία έχει κολλήσει στους -25 με -30 βαθμούς Κελσίου! / Yes! It’s been two weeks since the temperature is stuck on the -25 to -30 degrees celsius! 

E: Πω πω μα τι λες τώρα! Πως πηγαίνετε στις δουλειές σας; / Po po what are you saying? How are you going to work?

D: Ε στην αρχή ήταν δύσκολα γιατί έπεσε απότομα η θερμοκρασία αλλά μετά τις πρώτες τέσσερις πέντε μέρες το συνηθίσαμε. / At the beginning it was very difficult because the temperature dropped but after the first 4-5 days we got used to it!  

E: Μα καλά, συνηθίζεται τέτοιο κρύο; / but how do you get use to this cold?

D: Όχι εύκολα! (laughing) / Not easily 

E: Το σκυλάκι σας πως το βγάζετε βολτα; / how do you take your dog out for a walk?

D: Στην αρχή και εκείνη είχε σοκαριστεί πολύ από το κρύο. Δεν μπορούσε να περπατήσει. / At the beginning she was in shock from the low temperatures, she couldn’t walk.

E: Πω πω! Ρεεε το καημένο το σκυλί! / Po Po! Reeeee poor dog 

D:  Άσε! Εσάς εκεί τι λέει ο καιρός; / How is the weather over there?

E: Πωωωω και εδώ τα ίδια αλλά όχι σαν εσάς. Εδώ έφτασε μέχρι -10 το πολύ αλλά δεν είμαστε συνηθισμένοι στα κρύα. / Pooooo here the same but not like over there. Here it reached -10 the most but we are not used to the cold. 

D: Είδαμε και εμάς που είμαστε. Για να βγω έξω φορούσα σκουφί και γάντια εννοείται, μακρύ μπουφάν μέχρι τον αστράγαλο, τρεις τεσσερις μπλούζες, παντελόνι του σκι και μπότες με γούνα. / Yeah we are not used to it either. In order to go out I was wearing a beanie and gloves of course, long jacket till my ankle, 3-4 t-shirts, ski pants and boots with a fair. 

E: ΧΑΧΑ σαν κρεμμύδι ήσουν ντυμένη. Απορώ πως περπατούσες. / Haha you were dressed like an onion! I am wondering how you were able to walk. 

D: Πραγματικά! Ευτυχώς το σαββατοκύριακο λέει ότι θα έχει λιακάδα. / Indeed! Hopefully it says that it will be sunny on the weekend.

E: Άντε ευτυχώς! / Hopefully! 

D: Λοιπόν αγάπη σ αφήνω γιατί ξύπνησε το παιδί. / So I am going to go because my kid just woke up.

E: Πήγαινε πήγαινε. Τα λέμε αύριο φιλιά. / Go go. Talk to you tomorrow. Kisses.

D: Έλλλα φιλάκια. / Ela, kisses
