뜻
Finally accepting someone else's point of view.
문화적 배경
Parents often use 'Θα έρθεις στα λόγια μου' as a standard warning to children. It reinforces the hierarchy of experience over youth. In political talk shows, pundits use this to highlight when a party 'flip-flops' or adopts an opponent's stance. In villages, this phrase is often used when traditional farming or weather-predicting methods prove more accurate than modern technology. Using this phrase can be a way to 'save face'. Instead of saying 'I was wrong', saying 'I came to your words' makes it sound like an intellectual evolution.
Use it to soften an argument
If you want to end a disagreement gracefully, say 'Εντάξει, έρχομαι στα λόγια σου'. It shows respect for the other person's opinion.
Don't over-use 'Στα 'λεγα'
While 'ήρθες στα λόγια μου' is a fact, adding 'Στα 'λεγα εγώ' (I told you so) can sound arrogant. Use it sparingly.
