معنی
To try to do something difficult
زمینه فرهنگی
In Greece, 'απόπειρα' is often used in the context of the 'Greek Dream'—the attempt to succeed despite a difficult economy. It carries a sense of 'giving it a go' against the odds. Cypriot Greek uses the phrase similarly, but you might hear variations in the verb 'κάνω' (e.g., 'κάμνω' in dialect). The formality remains the same. In Greek universities, 'απόπειρα' is the standard term for a 'first draft' or a 'preliminary attempt' at a thesis or experiment. The term is strictly defined in the Greek Penal Code. 'Απόπειρα' is an act that contains at least a partial execution of a crime.
The 'Na' Rule
Always remember to follow the phrase with 'να' when you are describing what you are trying to do.
Don't Overuse
If you use 'απόπειρα' for everything, you will sound like a news anchor. Use 'προσπαθώ' for 80% of situations.
