뜻
A task that tests one's personal abilities.
문화적 배경
Greeks often use 'πρόκληση' to describe the economic crisis of the last decade, framing it as something to be overcome with 'philotimo'. In Cyprus, the phrase is used similarly, but you might hear more local idioms for 'difficulty' in casual speech. For Greeks living abroad, maintaining the language is often described as a 'πρόκληση'. In the modern Greek startup scene, 'πρόκληση' is the buzzword of choice for any new project or pivot.
Use it in Interviews
Always use this phrase instead of 'it's hard' when talking to a Greek boss. It shows you have 'tsagano' (grit).
Don't confuse with 'Invitation'
Adding an 's' makes it 'πρόσκληση' (invitation). Don't tell your boss the project is an 'invitation' unless you're inviting them to a party!
