خلفية ثقافية
In Greek public services (KEP, Tax Office), 'προσέλευση' is a technical term. You often need to take a number 'κατά την προσέλευση' to be served. Invitations often list two times: 'Ώρα προσέλευσης' (Arrival time) and 'Ώρα μυστηρίου' (Ceremony time). This allows for the social gathering before the religious rite. Greek hospitals are very strict about 'προσέλευση' during visiting hours. You will see signs using this phrase to manage the flow of visitors. At Greek universities, 'προσέλευση' is used for exams. If you arrive after the 'προσέλευση' window, you might be barred from the exam.
Master the 'ευ' sound
Remember that in 'προσέλευση', the 'ευ' sounds like 'ef'. If you say 'ev', it sounds slightly off to native ears.
Avoid casual use
Don't use this with your Greek friends for a night out. They will think you're being sarcastic or overly formal.
