Bedeutung
Getting better after being ill.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The phrase 'Καλή ανάρρωση' is the standard thing to say to someone who is recovering. It is often accompanied by 'Περαστικά'. Greeks often believe that 'ανάρρωση' requires a change of scenery, specifically going to the 'horio' (village) or the sea for 'clean air'. In Greece, 'αναρρωτική άδεια' (recovery leave) is a legal right, and people are generally respectful of the time needed to 'κάνω ανάρρωση'. It is common to post 'recovery' updates on social media with photos of tea, soup, or books, using the hashtag #anarrosi.
Drop the 'mia'
While 'κάνω μια ανάρρωση' is correct, dropping the 'μια' makes you sound more like a native speaker in most contexts.
Not for computers
Never use this for files or hard drives. Use 'ανάκτηση' instead.
