A2 Idiom ニュートラル

Είναι στη φύση του

It is in his nature

意味

Describing a personality trait that is innate.

🌍

文化的背景

Greeks often use this phrase to excuse 'passionate' behavior. If someone shouts during a discussion, a bystander might say 'είναι στη φύση μας' to imply that Greeks are naturally expressive and loud. In Crete, certain traits like hospitality (philoxenia) or bravery are considered 'in the nature' of every Cretan. It is a point of regional pride. The phrase echoes the Stoic philosophy of 'living according to nature' (κατά φύσιν ζην). In cities like Athens, the phrase is often used to describe the 'nature' of the city itself—chaotic but alive.

💡

Use it to be polite

If you need to explain a friend's flaw to someone else, this phrase makes it sound less like a choice and more like a quirk, which is more polite.

⚠️

Don't forget the article

It's always 'στη' (in the). Never just 'σε φύση'.
