| INTRODUCTION |
| Eric: Must-Know Greek Social Media Phrases Season 1. Lesson 4 - Sharing a Song. |
| Eric: Hi everyone, I'm Eric. |
| Chrissi: And I'm Chrissi. |
| Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to post and leave comments in Greek about sharing music or videos. Δήμητρα (Dímitra) shares a song she just heard at a party, posts a video of it, and leaves this comment: |
| Chrissi: Ένα βίντεο για να φτιάξει η διάθεση. Καλημέρες! (Éna vídeo ya na ftiáxi i diáthesi. Kaliméres!) |
| Eric: Meaning - "A video to get into the mood. Good morning! or literally "A video to get into the mood. Good mornings!" Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Δήμητρα (Dímitra)'s post. |
| Chrissi: Ένα βίντεο για να φτιάξει η διάθεση. Καλημέρες! (Éna vídeo ya na ftiáxi i diáthesi. Kaliméres!) |
| Eric: "A video to get into the mood. Good morning!” |
| Chrissi: (SLOW) Ένα βίντεο για να φτιάξει η διάθεση. Καλημέρες! (Éna vídeo ya na ftiáxi i diáthesi. Kaliméres!) (Regular) Ένα βίντεο για να φτιάξει η διάθεση. Καλημέρες! (Éna vídeo ya na ftiáxi i diáthesi. Kaliméres!) |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "a video to get into the mood." |
| Chrissi: ένα βίντεο για να φτιάξει η διάθεση (éna vídeo ya na ftiáxi i diáthesi) |
| Eric: In Greek, when you go from a bad mood to a good mood, you literally say "make the mood." For that, you use the verb meaning “to make” in the 3rd person singular form. Listen again- "a video to get into the mood" is... |
| Chrissi: (SLOW) ένα βίντεο για να φτιάξει η διάθεση (éna vídeo ya na ftiáxi i diáthesi) (REGULAR) ένα βίντεο για να φτιάξει η διάθεση (éna vídeo ya na ftiáxi i diáthesi) |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "good mornings." |
| Chrissi: καλημέρες (kaliméres) |
| Eric: Recently, on Greek social media, it’s very common to see the word for "good morning" in the plural instead of the singular, which is the normal way to use "good morning." When you post the plural phrase, it means that you're sending a "good morning" to each and everyone multiple times, so you're basically sending many "good mornings!" Listen again- "good mornings" is... |
| Chrissi: (SLOW) καλημέρες (kaliméres) (REGULAR) καλημέρες (kaliméres) |
| Eric: All together, "A video to get into the mood. Good morning!” |
| Chrissi: Ένα βίντεο για να φτιάξει η διάθεση. Καλημέρες! (Éna vídeo ya na ftiáxi i diáthesi. Kaliméres!) |
