Contexte culturel
In Greece, 'bebaiosi' (confirmation/certificate) is a pillar of the administrative system. Whether for taxes, health, or residency, you always need a 'bebaiosi.' With the rise of Gov.gr (the digital state portal), 'digital confirmation' has become a daily phrase. Greeks now 'have confirmation' on their phones for almost everything. Greeks value 'the word' of a person, but in business, they have learned to insist on 'epiveveosi' to avoid the common 'tha doume' (we'll see) culture. When hosting, a Greek host might ask for 'confirmation' of your arrival multiple times, not because they don't trust you, but to ensure the food is hot and ready.
