معنی
Weather condition.
زمینه فرهنگی
The 'Meltemia' are strong north winds that blow in the Aegean during July and August. They are so strong that they can stop ferries for days. Traditional island houses are designed with 'wind-friendly' shapes—rounded corners and small openings—to minimize the impact of 'poly aeras'. There is a belief that a 'rema' (draft) caused by 'poly aeras' between two open windows can cause illness or a stiff neck. Greece has one of the largest sailing communities in the world. 'Πολύς αέρας' is both a blessing for sailors and a danger for beginners.
The 'Has' Rule
Always remember that in Greek, the weather 'has' things. It has wind, it has sun, it has rain. Never use 'is'.
Watch the Adjective
Don't just say 'poly'. Use 'polys' for the wind. It's a hallmark of a good Greek speaker.
