About this episode

In today's episode you will learn the simple past tense in Greek. Emily will first engage in a conversation with Danae, describing her day in Athens and then will explain how to use and form the simple past.


D: Πώς πέρασες στην Αθήνα; / How was your time in Athens?

E: Ήταν απίστευτη εμπειρία! Η Αθήνα έχει τόσα πολλά να δεις και να κάνεις! / It was an incredible experience! Athens has so much to see and do!

D: Για πες! Τι έκανες όλη μέρα; / Tell me! What did you do all day?

E: Το πρωί ξύπνησα νωρίς και αφού έφαγα ένα τέλειο πρωινό γιαούρτι με φρούτα, πήγα στην Ακρόπολη. Επισκέφτηκα τον Παρθενώνα και θαύμασα τη θέα από ψηλά. Μετά κατέβηκα στο Μουσείο της Ακρόπολης και συναντήθηκα με τη φίλη μου την Ελένη, που μένει στην Αθήνα. / In the morning I woke up early and after having a perfect breakfast—yogurt with fruit—I went to the Acropolis. I visited the Parthenon and admired the view from above. Then I went down to the Acropolis Museum and met up with my friend Eleni, who lives in Athens.

D: Τέλεια! Πώς ήταν το μουσείο; Είναι τόσο καλό όσο λένε; / Awesome! How was the museum? Is it as good as they say?

E: Μου άρεσε πάρα πολύ! Έχει πάρα πολλά εκθέματα και οργανωμένα με ωραίο τρόπο. / I really liked it! It has so many exhibits and they’re very well organized.

D: Κι εγώ αυτό έχω ακούσει. Έκανες τίποτα άλλο μετά ή πήγες πίσω στο ξενοδοχείο. / That’s what I’ve heard too. Did you do anything else after that or did you go back to the hotel?

Έ: Ναι, μετά πήγαμε βόλτα στην Αρεοπαγίτου και περπατήσαμε μέχρι το Θησείο. Στη συνέχεια περάσαμε από το Μοναστηράκι, είδαμε τα παλιά μαγαζιά και εγώ αγόρασα μερικά αναμνηστικά. / Yeah, afterward we took a walk along Areopagitou Street and walked all the way to Thiseio. Then we passed through Monastiraki, saw the old shops, and I bought some souvenirs.

D: Δοκίμασες και ελληνικό φαγητό; / Did you try any Greek food?

Ε: Εννοείται! Το μεσημέρι έφαγα σε ένα ταβερνάκι στην Πλάκα. Παρήγγειλα μουσακά και μια χωριάτικη σαλάτα, αλλά δοκίμασα και από το παστίτσιο της φίλης μου. / Of course! At lunch I ate at a little taverna in Plaka. I ordered moussaka and a Greek salad, and I also tasted some of my friend’s pastitsio.

D: Πολύ ωραία επιλογή! Το απόγευμα τι έκανες; / Great choices! What did you do in the afternoon?

E: Πήγαμε στο Σύνταγμα και είδαμε την αλλαγή φρουράς μπροστά στη Βουλή. Μετά πήραμε έναν καφέ στο χέρι και περπατήσαμε στον Εθνικό Κήπο. / We went to Syntagma and watched the changing of the guard in front of Parliament. Then we grabbed a coffee to go and walked through the National Garden.

D: Και το βράδυ; / And in the evening?

E: Το βράδυ ανεβήκαμε στον Λυκαβηττό και είδαμε το ηλιοβασίλεμα. Η θέα της Αθήνας από ψηλά ήταν μαγική! / In the evening we went up to Lycabettus Hill and watched the sunset. The view of Athens from up there was magical!

D: Ακούγεται σαν πολύ γεμάτη αλλά και φανταστική μέρα! / Sounds like a packed but amazing day!

E: Ήταν όντως λίγο κουραστική, όμως πέρασα τέλεια! Η Αθήνα είναι υπέροχη πόλη! / It was a bit tiring, but I had a great time! Athens is a wonderful city!
