Bedeutung
Feeling physically fit or healthy
Kultureller Hintergrund
Health is often the first thing Greeks wish for. The common toast 'Στην υγειά μας' (To our health) reflects this. Being 'σε καλή κατάσταση' is seen as a blessing. In Ikaria, being in good condition at age 90 is normal due to diet and walking. The phrase is used there to describe the 'old-young' people. During mandatory military service, 'φυσική κατάσταση' (physical condition) is a constant topic of discussion and training. The 'Athens Marathon' has made this phrase a staple of autumn conversations among city dwellers training for the race.
Add 'φυσική'
If you want to sound more professional or specific about fitness, add the word 'φυσική' (physical): 'Είμαι σε καλή φυσική κατάσταση'.
Gender Agreement
Never say 'καλό κατάσταση'. 'Κατάσταση' is feminine, so it must be 'καλή'.

4 FragenYes! 'Το αυτοκίνητο είναι σε καλή κατάσταση' means the car is in good condition.
It is almost always 'σε' (in a state). 'Στην' would imply a very specific, previously mentioned state.
You say 'Δεν είμαι σε καλή κατάσταση' or 'Είμαι εκτός φόρμας'.
It is neutral-formal. It's safer than 'φόρμα' in professional or medical settings.
