Contexto cultural

Presentations (παρουσιάσεις) are a major part of the 'ergasia' (term paper) process. Students are expected to defend their work orally. Presentations in Greece are often followed by a long Q&A session. It is not seen as rude to interrupt; it shows interest. Government officials often 'κάνουν παρουσιάσεις' to announce new laws or reforms, which are broadcast live on TV. Greek influencers often use the term when 'presenting' a new product they are sponsoring on Instagram or TikTok.

💡

Use 'θα'

If you are about to start, say 'Θα κάνω μια παρουσίαση' to signal everyone to look at the screen.

⚠️

Case sensitivity

Always keep 'παρουσίαση' in the accusative case after 'κάνω'. Don't use the nominative 'παρουσίαση' if the sentence structure changes.
