意味
Something that does not interest me.
文化的背景
Greeks value emotional resonance in conversation. Saying 'δεν μου λέει τίποτα' is a socially acceptable way to be honest about one's lack of connection to a topic. In Cyprus, the phrase is used similarly, but you might hear 'εν μου λαλεί τίποτε' in the local dialect. In Greek intellectual circles, this phrase is a common 'polite' dismissal of modern trends that are seen as lacking substance. Younger Greeks often shorten it to just 'Δεν λέει' to describe something that isn't cool or worth their time.
Use 'κάτι' for questions
When asking someone if they recognize something, use 'Σου λέει κάτι;' instead of 'τίποτα' to sound more natural.
Don't be too blunt
Saying 'δεν μου λέει τίποτα' about a gift or a friend's hobby can be rude. Add 'για να είμαι ειλικρινής' (to be honest) to soften it.

よくある質問
5 問Yes, but it means you don't recognize their name or face, or they don't interest you. Be careful with the latter!
In standard Greek, it is always 'μου' (genitive). 'Με' is a Northern Greek dialect variant.
'Δεν ξέρω' means 'I don't know' (fact). 'Δεν μου λέει τίποτα' means 'I don't recognize it' or 'It doesn't interest me' (feeling/memory).
Yes: 'Δεν μου είπε τίποτα' (It didn't say anything to me / I wasn't impressed).
It's a bit casual. Use 'Δεν μου είναι οικείο' if you want to sound more professional.
