뜻
Asking for definition.
문화적 배경
Greeks value directness in learning. Asking questions is seen as a sign of intelligence. The phrase is used identically, though the accent might make the 'αυτό' sound slightly different. Often used in bilingual households to bridge the gap between English and Greek. In universities, this is the standard way to ask for clarification on complex terminology.
Use your hands
When you say 'Τι σημαίνει αυτό;', point to the word or object. It helps the native speaker understand exactly what you are asking about.
Be specific
Instead of just 'Τι σημαίνει αυτό;', try 'Τι σημαίνει αυτή η λέξη;' (What does this word mean?). It makes you sound more advanced.
