| Eric: In this lesson, you'll learn how to post and leave comments in Greek about being exhausted. Δήμητρα (Dímitra) feels exhausted after a long day at work, posts an image of it, and leaves this comment: |
| Chrissi: Είμαι ΠΤΩΜΑ! (Íme PTOMA!) |
| Eric: Meaning - "I'm DEAD!" Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |
