A2 Expression خنثی

μιλώ ειλικρινά

I speak honestly

معنی

Being truthful in conversation

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Honesty is often accompanied by intense eye contact. Avoiding eye contact while saying 'μιλώ ειλικρινά' might make the speaker seem untrustworthy. In Cyprus, the dialect might use 'μιλάω καθαρά' (I speak clearly/cleanly) in similar contexts to mean honesty. Second-generation Greeks often use 'Honestly' in English but switch to 'Ειλικρινά' when the conversation becomes emotional or relates to family values. In Greek business, 'μιλώ ειλικρινά' is often used to build a 'personal' bridge before discussing hard numbers or contracts.
