Στρίψε δεξιά

Turn right

Giving directions.

🌍

문화적 배경

In cities like Athens, street signs are often hidden or missing. People rely on 'landmarks' like kiosks (periptera), churches, or even specific shops. Drivers often use hand signals or shout directions out the window. 'Στρίψε δεξιά' might be shouted by a passenger to a driver who is about to miss a turn. The word 'δεξιά' is associated with the 'right hand of God' in Orthodoxy. While not directly related to driving, it reinforces 'right' as the 'correct' or 'honored' side. On islands, directions are often given relative to the sea or the 'Chora' (main village). 'Στρίψε δεξιά προς τη θάλασσα' is a common instruction.
