είμαι άρρωστος

I am sick

Feeling unwell or ill

🌍

문화적 배경

The 'Evil Eye' (Mati) is often considered a cause for sudden sickness. If someone feels sick after receiving a compliment, they might be 'matiasmenos'. Chicken soup (kotopoula) and mountain tea (tsai tou vounou) are the primary home remedies. Greeks rarely rely solely on pills for minor illnesses. The word 'Περαστικά' is so culturally ingrained that it is used even for minor things like a sneeze or a small scratch. Family involvement is high. If a young person is 'árrostos', parents or grandparents will likely visit with food and check on them constantly.
