意味
Asking about the process of something.
文化的背景
The phrase is often used with the 'Greek Shrug'—a slight tilt of the head and a raising of the eyebrows, indicating that the 'how' is currently a mystery. In Cyprus, you might hear 'Πώς εν να γίνει τούτο;' which is the local dialect version, using 'εν να' instead of 'θα'. Second-generation Greeks often use the English 'How is this gonna happen?' but switch to the Greek phrase when they want to sound more emphatic or traditional. In Greek business, this phrase is a polite way to start a negotiation about resources or timelines.
The Skeptical Tone
If you want to sound like a local, raise your pitch on the word 'Πώς' to show you are skeptical.
Don't over-enunciate
Greeks say this very quickly. Practice saying 'pos-tha-YEE-nee' as one single breath.

The 'Egine' Connection
Remember that 'Egine' (It happened) is the standard way to say 'Okay' or 'Deal'. This phrase is the question version of that deal.
