معنی
Demonstrating one's skills or reliability.
زمینه فرهنگی
Sports journalists in Greece are the biggest users of this phrase. Every time a foreign player is transferred to a Greek team (like Olympiacos or Panathinaikos), the fans wait for them to 'give their credentials' in the first big derby. In the Greek Parliament, a new minister's first speech is often described this way. It's a high-stakes environment where 'credentials' are not just about skill, but about political survival. Greeks value 'filotimo' (honor/pride). Giving your credentials is seen as a way of showing you have 'filotimo' and respect for the job you were given. In Greek universities, the public defense of a PhD is a formal 'giving of credentials' to the academic community.
Use 'Καταθέτω' for extra impact
If you are writing a formal essay or a cover letter, use 'καταθέτω' instead of 'δίνω'. It sounds much more professional.
Watch the possessive!
Always remember to change 'μου' to 'σου', 'του', 'της', etc., depending on who you are talking about.

سوالات متداول
3 سوالYes, but mostly when talking about someone's professional performance or a new person in a group. It's not for very casual 'hanging out' talk.
Absolutely! If a student does very well in their first exam, you can say they 'gave their credentials' to the teacher.
The singular is 'διαπιστευτήριο', but it is almost never used in this idiomatic sense. Stick to the plural.
