Greek Language Experts
About this episode

In today's episode you will learn essential health and sickness related phrases in Greek. Emily and Danai will first engage in a dialogue talking about Emily's flu and then give you some more phrases we use when feeling under the weather.


D: Έμιλυ, πώς πήγε η επίσκεψη στον γιατρό; Τι σου είπε; / Emily, how did the doctor’s visit go? What did he say?

E: Δεν έχω απλό κρυολόγημα τελικά… Ο γιατρός μου είπε ότι έχω γρίπη. / It turns out I don’t just have a simple cold… The doctor told me I have the flu.

D: Ωχ! Και ποια είναι τα συμπτώματά σου; / Oh no! And what are your symptoms?

E: Έχω ανεβασμένο πυρετό, πονόλαιμο, δυνατό πονοκέφαλο, πόνους στα κόκαλα και συνάχι. Νιώθω εντελώς εξαντλημένη. /  I have a high fever, a sore throat, a bad headache, body aches, and a stuffy nose. I feel completely exhausted.

D:Πωπωω, ταλαιπωρείσαι πολύ! Ζαλίζεσαι κιόλας; / Wow, you’re really suffering! Are you also feeling dizzy?

Ε: Όχι πολύ. Είχα κάποιες ζαλάδες το πρωί αλλά τώρα σταμάτησαν και έχω μόνο ρίγος. / Not much. I had some dizziness this morning, but it stopped, and now I just have chills.

D: Τι σου είπε να κάνεις; / What did the doctor tell you to do?

E: Μου είπε να ξεκουραστώ όσο μπορώ, να πίνω πολλά υγρά και να πάρω παυσίπονα και αντιπυρετικά για τον πυρετό και τους πόνους. / He told me to rest as much as I can, drink lots of fluids, and take painkillers and fever reducers for the fever and the aches.

D: Πρέπει να πάρεις αντιβίωση; / Do you need antibiotics?

E: Όχι, προς το παρόν δεν χρειάζεται αντιβίωση. / No, for now, I don’t need antibiotics. 

D: Μάλιστα… Οπότε, απλά υπομονή και ξεκούραση! /  I see… So, just patience and rest for now!

E: Ναι, ακριβώς! Αν ο πυρετός δεν πέσει σε λίγες μέρες, πρέπει να ξαναμιλήσω με τον γιατρό. / Yes, exactly! If the fever doesn’t go down in a few days, I’ll have to talk to the doctor again.

D: Εντάξει, λοιπόν! Μείνε στο κρεβάτι, πιες πολλά υγρά, φάε πολλές σούπες και ξεκουράσου! / Alright then! Stay in bed, drink lots of fluids, eat lots of soups, and rest!

Έ: Ναι, θα προσπαθήσω! Ευχαριστώ που ανησυχείς! / Yes, I’ll try! Thanks for worrying!

Δ: Εννοείται! Περαστικά και σύντομα καλύτερα! / Of course! Get well soon and feel better quickly!
