Bedeutung
Everything is acceptable.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Athens, 'Εντάξει' is often said very quickly, sometimes sounding like 'ντάξει'. It's used as a filler word to keep the conversation moving. Cypriot Greek speakers use 'Εντάξει' but often pair it with 'εν' (is) in the Cypriot dialect: 'Εν εντάξει'. In communities in the US or Australia, 'Εντάξει' is one of the few words third-generation Greeks often retain, using it interchangeably with 'OK'. Greeks value personal relationships. Saying 'Είναι εντάξει' in a meeting often implies a level of trust has been reached.
The 'Double En-taxei'
Saying 'Εντάξει, εντάξει' quickly often means 'I heard you, stop repeating yourself!' Use with caution.
Body Language
A slight tilt of the head to the side while saying 'Είναι εντάξει' makes you sound much more like a native speaker.

Don't be too modest
If someone compliments your Greek, don't just say 'Είναι εντάξει.' Say 'Ευχαριστώ!' (Thank you!)
