뜻
Showing something to others.
문화적 배경
The 'επίδειξη πλούτου' (display of wealth) is a common theme in Greek cinema of the 60s, often used to contrast the humble hero with the arrogant villain. In Cyprus, social displays at weddings are very common and are often described as 'επίδειξη' by those who find them excessive. The Byzantine court was famous for its 'επίδειξη ισχύος' through elaborate ceremonies and golden mechanical lions to impress foreign ambassadors. Greeks use the term 'επιδειξιομανία' (show-off-mania) to describe the obsession with posting luxury lives on Instagram.
Use the Genitive
Always try to pair 'επίδειξη' with a genitive noun like 'δύναμης' or 'πλούτου' to sound like a B2 speaker.
Don't over-use
If you use 'επίδειξη' for everything, you might sound a bit cynical. Use 'παρουσίαση' (presentation) for neutral work contexts.

The 'Mouri' factor
In Greece, 'showing off' is often called 'mouri'. Using 'επίδειξη' is the more 'educated' way to say someone is 'selling face'.
