B1 Expression غیر رسمی

μου 'κοψες την όρεξη

you ruined my appetite

معنی

What you said was unpleasant.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

Food is a social glue. Interrupting a meal with bad news is considered a major social faux pas, hence the strength of this idiom. Similar usage, but often delivered with a stronger accent. The sentiment of 'cutting' the appetite remains identical. Many Mediterranean cultures share this 'appetite' metaphor because of the shared value of the communal table.

💡

Use the Elision

Saying 'μου 'κοψες' instead of 'μου έκοψες' makes you sound much more like a native speaker.

⚠️

Watch your tone

If said too harshly, it can be quite rude. Use a playful or slightly annoyed tone for best results.
