έχω μια προσδοκία

I have an expectation

Looking forward to something.

🌍

문화적 배경

Greek parents often place immense pressure on children to succeed academically, leading to the phrase 'έχω προσδοκίες' being a common part of household vocabulary. There is a general cultural cynicism towards political promises, often expressed by saying one has 'no expectations'. A host has the 'expectation' that a guest will enjoy themselves, and a guest 'expects' a high level of hospitality. In Greek business, expectations are often discussed indirectly at first, but 'έχω την προσδοκία' is used when formalizing agreements.

Not exactly. 'I hope' (ελπίζω) is a feeling. 'I have an expectation' is more about a standard or a logical anticipation of a result.

Usually, 'προσδοκία' is neutral or positive. For negative anticipation, Greeks use 'φόβος' (fear) or 'ανησυχία' (worry).

You can say 'δεν περιμένω τίποτα' (I expect nothing) or 'δεν έχω καμία απαίτηση'.

Use the adjective 'υψηλές' (formal) or 'μεγάλες' (neutral). 'Έχω υψηλές προσδοκίες'.

Yes, if the topic is serious (e.g., discussing a project or a relationship). For 'I hope you have fun', use 'Ελπίζω να περάσεις καλά'.

It means to prove expectations wrong, usually in a disappointing way.

It's better to say 'από εσένα'. 'Από' indicates the source of the expectation.

Yes, it is very common in news, business, and education.

'Απαίτηση' is a demand. 'Προσδοκία' is an expectation. One is a requirement, the other is a hope/standard.

Exactly like the verb 'to have': έχω, έχεις, έχει, έχουμε, έχετε, έχουν.
