Bedeutung
Looking at differences and similarities.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Greek schools, 'Σύγκριση και Αντιπαραβολή' (Comparison and Juxtaposition) is a core part of the curriculum, especially for ancient texts. This makes the phrase feel very familiar to all Greeks. With the economic crisis, Greeks became much more price-conscious. Websites like 'Skroutz' (the Greek Amazon/PriceGrabber) made 'κάνω μια σύγκριση τιμών' a daily necessity. Greeks are very expressive. While they compare things constantly, it is considered rude to 'make a comparison' between guests or friends in a way that makes someone feel inferior. Greek political talk shows are famous for their intensity. Politicians often use the phrase 'Αν κάνουμε μια σύγκριση με τη δική μας θητεία...' to defend their record.
Use 'ανάμεσα σε'
For A2 learners, 'ανάμεσα σε' is the easiest and most natural way to link the things you are comparing.
Avoid 'φτιάχνω'
Never say 'φτιάχνω μια σύγκριση'. It sounds very unnatural to native speakers.
