Κάνω μια έγκριση

I am giving approval

Formally agreeing to a request.

🌍

문화적 배경

In Greek business culture, hierarchy is important. Only specific people have the authority to 'make an approval'. Asking 'Ποιος κάνει την έγκριση;' is a polite way to find the decision-maker. Similar to Greece, but the influence of the British legal system means that 'έγκριση' is often tied to very specific, documented legal steps. In the context of EU funds (very common in Greek news), 'έγκριση' is the standard term for the Commission green-lighting a national budget. Greek-Americans might use 'κάνω approve' (Gringlish). Learning the correct 'κάνω μια έγκριση' will make you sound much more educated and native.
