Greek Language Experts
About this episode

In today's episode you will learn how we use the expressions I like/don't like and prefer in Greek! Emily and Danae will first engage in a conversation talking about ordering some food and will explain how to use μου αρέσει/μου αρέσουν in various persons and the verb προτιμώ.


E: Πείνασα! / I'm hungry!

D: Κι εγώ! Μήπως να παραγγείλουμε τίποτα; /Me too! Should we order something? 

E: Ναι, αμέ. Τι λες για κινέζικο; /Yeah, sure. What do you think about Chinese food?

D: Καλύτερα όχι. Δεν μου αρέσει το κινέζικο. Πίτσα; / Better not. I don’t like Chinese food. Pizza? 

E: Εμένα μου αρέσει η πίτσα, αλλά δεν αρέσει στον Γιώργο. /I like pizza, but George doesn’t.

D: Έχεις δίκιο. Η αλήθεια είναι ότι κι εγώ δεν την προτιμώ. Τι του αρέσει; /You’re right. The truth is, I don’t prefer it either. What does he like?

E: Του αρέσουν τα σουβλάκια πιο πολύ. /He likes souvlaki more.

D: Τέλεια! Κι εμένα μου αρέσουν. Ας παραγγείλουμε σουβλάκια λοιπόν. Τι προτιμάς; Κοτόπουλο ή χοιρινό; /Perfect! I like souvlaki too. Let’s order souvlaki then. What do you prefer? Chicken or pork?

E: Εγώ προτιμώ χοιρινό. Και πάρε και δύο σουβλάκια κοτόπουλο για τον Γιώργο, γιατί τα προτιμάει. Εσύ τι θα πάρεις; /I prefer pork. And get two chicken souvlaki for George, because he likes those. What will you get?

D: Θα πάρω τέσσερα σουβλάκια κοτόπουλο, που αρέσουν και στη Μαρία. /I’ll get four chicken souvlakis, since Maria likes them too.

E: Ωραία. Να πάρουμε και καμία σαλάτα; Σας αρέσει η χωριάτικη; /Nice. Should we get a salad too? Do you guys like Greek salad?

D: Ναι, μας αρέσει. Να πάρουμε και μία μερίδα πατάτες, σωστά; /Yeah, we like it. Should we get a portion of fries too, right?

E: Εννοείται! Σε ποιον δεν αρέσουν οι πατάτες; /Of course! Who doesn’t like fries?

D: Σωστά! Ξέρω ότι κι εσένα σου αρέσει η κόκα κόλα. Για τη Μαρία και τον Γιώργο δεν θυμάμαι. Τους αρέσει; / Right! I know you like Coke. I don’t remember about Maria and George. Do they like it?

E: Έτσι κι έτσι, προτιμούν πορτοκαλάδα. /They’re okay with it, but they prefer orange juice.

D: Τέλεια. Οπότε μπαίνω να παραγγείλω. /Great. So I’ll go ahead and order.
