to estimate

To guess the value or amount.

🌍

문화적 배경

In Greek business culture, an 'estimate' is often treated as a flexible starting point for negotiation (pazari). Similar to Greece, but the word 'εκτίμηση' is very strictly used in land registry and property disputes, which are common in Cyprus. Often mixed with English: 'Κάνω ένα estimate' is a common 'Gringlish' variation heard in Greek-owned businesses abroad. In modern Athens tech hubs, the phrase is used exactly like 'Agile estimation' in English, losing its traditional 'negotiable' feel.
