معنی
Putting sugar into a drink or food.
زمینه فرهنگی
In traditional Greek coffee houses, the 'psistis' (coffee maker) is the one who 'puts the sugar'. You must tell them your preference (sketos, metrios, glykos) before they start. Offering a 'spoon sweet' (glyko tou koutaliou) is a staple of Greek hospitality. These are fruits boiled in sugar syrup. It's a way of 'putting sugar' into the guest's visit. During memorials, Greeks make 'Koliva', which consists of boiled wheat, raisins, and a thick layer of powdered sugar on top. The sugar represents the sweetness of paradise. In urban centers like Athens, there is a shift toward 'stevia' or 'honey' instead of sugar. You might hear 'Βάζω στέβια' instead of 'Βάζω ζάχαρη'.
Coffee Ordering
In Greece, don't wait to add sugar at the table. Tell the waiter 'μέτριο' or 'γλυκό' when you order.
Gender Matters
Remember 'ζάχαρη' is feminine. Use 'πολλή' (much) not 'πολύ'.
