installation or facility
εγκατάσταση 30초 만에
- Εγκατάσταση means installation (software/tech) or facility (building/infrastructure).
- It is a feminine noun (η εγκατάσταση) with the plural form 'εγκαταστάσεις'.
- Use it for setting up apps, appliances, or describing hotel and sports amenities.
- It also refers to the settlement of people or a specific type of modern art.
The Greek word εγκατάσταση (pronounced eng-ka-TA-sta-si) is a versatile and essential noun that English speakers primarily translate as installation or facility. At its core, the word describes the act of placing something in a specific position so that it is ready for use, or the physical structure resulting from that act. This dual nature—referring to both the process and the product—makes it ubiquitous in modern Greek life, ranging from high-tech software discussions to the physical infrastructure of a city. Whether you are talking about setting up a new air conditioning unit, installing an application on your smartphone, or describing the expansive sports complexes used during the Olympic Games, this is the term you will encounter. It carries a sense of permanence and organization, distinguishing it from temporary setups or casual placements.
- Technical Context
- In the digital age, this word is the standard term for software installation. When you download an app, the progress bar you see is tracking the 'εγκατάσταση'.
Η εγκατάσταση του νέου λογισμικού θα διαρκέσει δέκα λεπτά.
- Infrastructure and Facilities
- When used in the plural (εγκαταστάσεις), it refers to the physical buildings, equipment, or services provided by an organization, such as a university's campus or a factory's machinery.
Το ξενοδοχείο διαθέτει σύγχρονες αθλητικές εγκαταστάσεις.
Beyond the physical and technical, the word also has a historical and sociological dimension. It can describe the settlement of a population in a new area. For instance, the 'εγκατάσταση των προσφύγων' (the settlement of refugees) is a phrase frequently used in historical texts regarding the 1922 population exchange. This nuance highlights the word's connection to the verb 'εγκαθιστώ', which means to establish or settle someone or something. In the world of fine arts, an 'art installation' is also called an 'εγκατάσταση', referring to a three-dimensional work designed to transform the perception of a space. This breadth of meaning shows how the word bridges the gap between the mechanical, the architectural, and the artistic.
Η καλλιτεχνική εγκατάσταση στον χώρο της γκαλερί εντυπωσίασε το κοινό.
- Mechanical and Household
- It is the standard term for plumbing (υδραυλική εγκατάσταση) or electrical (ηλεκτρική εγκατάσταση) setups in a home.
Πρέπει να ελέγξουμε την ηλεκτρική εγκατάσταση του σπιτιού.
Using εγκατάσταση correctly involves understanding its grammatical behavior and the common nouns it pairs with. As a feminine noun ending in -η, it follows the standard declension pattern (η εγκατάσταση, της εγκατάστασης, την εγκατάσταση). However, because it is a more formal or technical word, you will often see the ancient-style genitive 'εγκαταστάσεως' in legal or very formal documents, though 'εγκατάστασης' is perfectly acceptable for daily use. When you use this word, you are usually describing a relationship of possession or purpose, which is why the genitive case is so frequent. For example, 'the installation of the heater' becomes 'η εγκατάσταση του καλοριφέρ'. Note how the object being installed follows in the genitive case.
- Describing the Object
- Always place the item being installed in the genitive case directly after the word.
Ξεκίνησε η εγκατάσταση των νέων φωτιστικών στο πάρκο.
- Plural Usage for Facilities
- When referring to the amenities of a place, always use the plural 'εγκαταστάσεις'.
Οι εγκαταστάσεις του πανεπιστημίου είναι υπερσύγχρονες.
In a professional setting, you might use the word to describe the establishment of a business. 'Η εγκατάσταση της εταιρείας στην Ελλάδα' refers to the company setting up its operations in Greece. This usage implies more than just moving into a building; it suggests the whole process of becoming functional and established. Furthermore, in IT, the word is often preceded by verbs like 'ξεκινώ' (to start), 'ακυρώνω' (to cancel), or 'ολοκληρώνω' (to complete). Understanding these collocations helps you sound more natural. If you are struggling with a software error, you might say 'Η εγκατάσταση απέτυχε' (The installation failed), which is a common phrase seen on computer screens across Greece.
Η εγκατάσταση των Windows σταμάτησε λόγω σφάλματος.
- Combining with Adjectives
- Adjectives like 'μόνιμη' (permanent), 'προσωρινή' (temporary), or 'στρατιωτική' (military) provide essential context.
Απαγορεύεται η φωτογράφηση σε κάθε στρατιωτική εγκατάσταση.
If you are living or traveling in Greece, εγκατάσταση is a word you will hear in several specific environments. The most common place is likely in the service industry. If you buy a new appliance like a washing machine or an air conditioner, the salesperson will ask if you need 'εγκατάσταση'. In this context, it refers to the professional service of setting up the device. You might also hear it in the news when politicians discuss 'βιομηχανικές εγκαταστάσεις' (industrial facilities) and their impact on the economy or the environment. It is a word that carries weight, often associated with progress, development, and the physical presence of institutions.
- In the Office and IT
- IT professionals use it constantly. You will hear it in phrases like 'κάνω εγκατάσταση' (I am doing an installation) or 'οδηγίες εγκατάστασης' (installation instructions).
Ακολουθήστε τις οδηγίες για την εγκατάσταση του εκτυπωτή.
- Sports and Leisure
- Greeks are proud of their sports heritage. You will often hear about the 'αθλητικές εγκαταστάσεις' of a city or a club, referring to the stadiums and training grounds.
Οι ολυμπιακές εγκαταστάσεις χρειάζονται συντήρηση.
Another sphere where this word is common is in real estate and construction. When looking at property listings, you might see descriptions mentioning 'εγκατάσταση φυσικού αερίου' (natural gas installation) or 'εγκατάσταση συναγερμού' (alarm system installation). These are considered selling points that add value to a home. In more abstract terms, you might hear sociologists or historians talk about the 'εγκατάσταση' of new ideas or cultural movements within a society, though this is less common than the physical or technical meanings. Finally, in the art world, if you visit a contemporary art museum like the EMST in Athens, the descriptions of the artworks will frequently use 'εγκατάσταση' to define the medium of the piece.
Η νέα εγκατάσταση του καλλιτέχνη βρίσκεται στην κεντρική αίθουσα.
- The Military
- Military bases and high-security zones are always referred to as 'στρατιωτικές εγκαταστάσεις' on warning signs.
Το πλοίο πλησίασε τις λιμενικές εγκαταστάσεις.
One of the most frequent mistakes English speakers make when using εγκατάσταση is confusing it with other words related to building or establishing. While 'εγκατάσταση' means installation, it is not the same as 'κατασκευή' (construction). You 'install' a sink, but you 'construct' a house. Another common error is using it as a synonym for 'ίδρυση' (foundation/establishment of an institution). While you can say 'εγκατάσταση μιας εταιρείας' to mean setting up its physical presence, 'ίδρυση' is the correct word for the legal act of starting the company. Understanding these boundaries is key to moving from a B1 to a B2 level of Greek proficiency.
- Mistaking Case
- Learners often forget to use the genitive for the object being installed. They might say 'εγκατάσταση το πρόγραμμα' instead of the correct 'εγκατάσταση του προγράμματος'.
Λάθος: Η εγκατάσταση το κλιματιστικό. Σωστό: Η εγκατάσταση του κλιματιστικού.
- Confusing with 'Τοποθέτηση'
- While 'τοποθέτηση' means 'placement', 'εγκατάσταση' implies a more complex setup involving connection to power, water, or a system.
Η εγκατάσταση περιλαμβάνει και τη σύνδεση με το δίκτυο.
Another subtle mistake involves the plural. In English, we might say 'the facilities are great', and in Greek, you must use the plural 'οι εγκαταστάσεις είναι υπέροχες'. Using the singular 'η εγκατάσταση' in this context would sound like you are talking about one specific machine or a single act of installation rather than the overall amenities. Additionally, pay attention to the gender. Because it ends in -η, some learners assume it is a simple feminine noun, but the plural '-εις' (εγκαταστάσεις) follows the third declension pattern which can be tricky for beginners. Always remember: singular -η, plural -εις.
Οι εγκαταστάσεις (plural) του σταδίου είναι έτοιμες.
- Overusing for 'Setting up'
- Don't use it for setting a table or setting a trap. Use 'στρώσιμο' or 'στήσιμο' for those informal or specific contexts.
Η εγκατάσταση δεν είναι απλό στήσιμο επίπλων.
To enrich your Greek vocabulary, it is helpful to compare εγκατάσταση with its synonyms and related terms. Each word has a specific 'flavor' that makes it suitable for different situations. While 'εγκατάσταση' is the broad term for installation or facility, you might use 'μονάδα' (unit/plant) when referring specifically to a factory or a power plant. If you are talking about the act of putting something in place without the technical complexity, 'τοποθέτηση' is your best bet. Understanding these nuances allows you to be more precise in your descriptions.
- εγκατάσταση vs. τοποθέτηση
- 'Εγκατάσταση' involves setup and functionality (e.g., a boiler). 'Τοποθέτηση' is simply placing something (e.g., a vase on a table).
Η εγκατάσταση του πλυντηρίου απαιτεί υδραυλικό.
- εγκατάσταση vs. ίδρυση
- 'Ίδρυση' is the legal creation of an organization. 'Εγκατάσταση' is the physical setting up of its offices or equipment.
Μετά την ίδρυση, ακολούθησε η εγκατάσταση στα γραφεία.
Other alternatives include 'στήσιμο' (setting up), which is much more informal and often used for events or temporary structures like a market stall. 'Διαμόρφωση' (configuration/shaping) is used when you are adjusting the settings of an installation rather than the act of installing itself. In technical manuals, you might see 'συναρμολόγηση' (assembly), which refers to putting parts together. While an 'εγκατάσταση' might involve 'συναρμολόγηση', the two are not interchangeable. 'Εγκατάσταση' is the umbrella term that covers the entire process of making something ready for operation in its designated place.
Το στήσιμο της σκηνής ήταν γρήγορο, αλλά η εγκατάσταση του ήχου πήρε ώρες.
- εγκατάσταση vs. μονάδα
- Use 'μονάδα' for large-scale industrial plants (e.g., 'μονάδα παραγωγής'). Use 'εγκαταστάσεις' for the overall site.
Οι λιμενικές εγκαταστάσεις περιλαμβάνουν πολλές αποθήκες.

재미있는 사실
The root '-σταση' comes from 'ἵστημι' (histēmi), meaning 'to stand'. So, 'εγκατάσταση' literally means 'making something stand inside' a place.
