Stating lack of involvement.
문화적 배경
In Greek offices, hierarchy is important. Saying 'δεν με αφορά' to a superior can be risky unless you are very sure it's outside your job description. It's better to say 'Δεν νομίζω ότι είναι στην αρμοδιότητά μου.' Greeks can be inquisitive. Using 'δεν με αφορά' is a polite but firm way to shut down 'koutsompolio' (gossip) without being aggressive. In Greek law, 'έννομο συμφέρον' (legal interest) is a key concept. If you don't have it, the case 'δεν σε αφορά.' Younger Greeks use the phrase to express a sense of 'cool' detachment from traditional social pressures.
The 'Accusative' Rule
Always remember to use 'με', 'σε', 'τον' etc. Never use 'εγώ' or 'εσύ'.
Tone Matters
If said too quickly or sharply, it can sound very dismissive. Soften it with 'νομίζω' (I think).
