| INTRODUCTION |
| Eric: Must-Know Greek Social Media Phrases Season 1. Lesson 9 - Talking About an Injury. |
| 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 being injured. Σωτήρης (Sotíris) suffers a painful injury, posts an image of it, and leaves this comment: |
| Chrissi: Τενοντίτιδα... καταπληκτικά... (Tenondítida... katapliktiká...) |
| Eric: Meaning - "Tendonitis... great..." Listen to a reading of the post and the comments that follow. |

| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Σωτήρης (Sotíris)'s post. |
| Chrissi: Τενοντίτιδα... καταπληκτικά... (Tenondítida... katapliktiká...) |
| Eric: "Tendonitis... great..." |
| Chrissi: (SLOW) Τενοντίτιδα... καταπληκτικά... (Tenondítida... katapliktiká...) (Regular) Τενοντίτιδα... καταπληκτικά... (Tenondítida... katapliktiká...) |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "tendonitis." |
| Chrissi: τενοντίτιδα (tenondítida) |
| Eric: If you want to post about some sickness or injury you have suffered, then all you have to do is post the name of that disease or injury. It will make it clear to anyone who reads it that it’s you that has it. Listen again- "tendonitis" is... |
| Chrissi: (SLOW) τενοντίτιδα (tenondítida) (REGULAR) τενοντίτιδα (tenondítida) |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "great." |
| Chrissi: καταπληκτικά (katapliktiká) |
| Eric: Although the meaning of this adverb has a positive connotation, you can use it in a sarcastic way. Just like saying in English "just great" when something bad happens. Listen again- "great" is... |
| Chrissi: (SLOW) καταπληκτικά (katapliktiká) (REGULAR) καταπληκτικά (katapliktiká) |
| Eric: All together, "Tendonitis... great..." |
| Chrissi: Τενοντίτιδα... καταπληκτικά... (Tenondítida... katapliktiká...) |
