Καλός καιρός

Good weather

Describing sunny or nice conditions.

🌍

문화적 배경

Weather is the ultimate social equalizer. Regardless of social status, everyone discusses the 'καλό καιρό' as a shared blessing. In the islands, 'καλός καιρός' also implies a lack of strong winds (meltemia), which is crucial for ferry travel. In Cyprus, 'καλός καιρός' is often used ironically during the scorching summer months to mean 'at least it's not 45 degrees today.' For Greeks living in colder climates (like London or New York), 'καλός καιρός' is a nostalgic term used to describe their visits home.

💡

The 'Accusative' Rule

Always remember to say 'Έχει καλό καιρό' (no 's' at the end) when using the verb 'έχει'.

If you don't know what to say to a Greek person, mention the weather. It is never considered boring.

⚠️

Gender Matters

Don't say 'Καλή καιρός'. Even though weather feels like a 'thing', the word is masculine.

🎯

Add an 'ε;'

Adding 'ε;' (eh?) at the end of 'Τι καλός καιρός σήμερα, ε;' makes you sound 100% more like a native.
