Τι κάνεις;

How are you?

意味

Asking about someone's well-being.

🌍

文化的背景

Greetings are often loud and accompanied by a 'filaki' (little kiss) on both cheeks or a strong handshake. 'Τι κάνεις;' is the verbal signal that the social interaction has officially begun. In smaller island communities, you might hear 'Τι κάνεις;' shouted from balconies or across narrow streets. It's a way of maintaining the 'parea' even from a distance. Second and third-generation Greeks often use 'Τι κάνεις;' as one of the few phrases they retain, sometimes mixing it with English (e.g., 'Ti kaneis, cousin?'). In Cyprus, the dialect is different, and you might hear 'Ήντα κάμνεις;' (Inta kamneis?) instead of 'Τι κάνεις;'. It means the exact same thing but has a distinct local flavor.
