κάνω μια αίτηση

to make an application

To formally request something.

🌍

문화적 배경

The 'KEP' (Citizen Service Centers) are the primary place where Greeks 'make applications'. They were created to reduce the need to visit multiple government offices. In Cyprus, the term is used similarly, but the bureaucratic structures may differ slightly, often influenced by British administrative history. Greeks living abroad often use this phrase when dealing with Greek consulates for matters like military service or voting rights. The portal 'gov.gr' has moved 'making an application' from physical offices to smartphones, a major cultural shift in the last 5 years.

💡

Use 'για'

Always remember to use the preposition 'για' after the phrase to specify what you are applying for.

⚠️

Avoid 'δίνω'

Never say 'δίνω μια αίτηση'. It's a common mistake for English speakers and sounds very unnatural.
