意味
Playing hard to get.
文化的背景
In Greece, the 'chase' is a vital part of romance. It is culturally expected for both parties to engage in some level of 'κάνω τον δύσκολο' to maintain mystery and value. Negotiations in Greece are often personal and theatrical. 'Making the difficult' is a standard tactic to build rapport and test the other party's commitment. When offered a treat at a Greek home, it is polite to initially decline ('making the difficult') before eventually accepting. This shows you are not greedy. The term is used heavily in 'seen' culture. If someone leaves you on 'read' (διαβάστηκε), they are accused of 'making the difficult.'
Match the Gender!
Always remember: 'τον δύσκολο' for men, 'τη δύσκολη' for women. This is the most common mistake for beginners.
Don't Overuse It
If you say this to someone's face, it can sound a bit teasing or even slightly annoying. Use it mostly when talking *about* someone else.

The 'Nazia' Connection
If you want to sound more native, use 'κάνω νάζια' for romantic flirting and 'κάνω τον δύσκολο' for more general or business reluctance.
