المعنى
Having no doubt about something
خلفية ثقافية
Greeks often use 'απόλυτα σίγουρος' to show passion and commitment to an idea, even in casual debates about sports or food. In Greek business, being 'απόλυτα σίγουρος' is expected when giving deadlines. Hesitation can be seen as a lack of competence. Parents use this phrase to instill confidence in their children or to set firm boundaries. In official documents or testimonies, the more formal 'βέβαιος' is often substituted for 'σίγουρος'.
