뜻
To formalize an agreement.
문화적 배경
The 'signature' is the holy grail of Greek administration. Often, a document isn't valid without multiple signatures and a physical stamp (σφραγίδα). In Greece, business deals often involve long coffee meetings. 'Putting the signature' is the very last step, often followed by a celebratory meal. The use of 'τζίφρα' (slang for signature) reflects a cultural cynicism towards the endless paperwork required by the state. When fans ask for an autograph, they use the word 'αυτόγραφο' rather than 'υπογραφή,' though the act is the same.
The 'Tzifra' Alternative
If you want to sound like a local in a casual setting, use 'τζίφρα' instead of 'υπογραφή'.
Don't say 'Make'
Never say 'κάνω μια υπογραφή'. It's a dead giveaway that you are translating from English.

The Power of 'Μια'

셀프 테스트
Fill in the correct form of the verb 'βάζω'.
Χθες, ο διευθυντής ______ μια υπογραφή στο συμβόλαιο.
The sentence refers to 'yesterday' (χθες), so we need the Aorist (Past Simple) form.
Which phrase is the most natural for a business deal?
Πότε θα ______ για τη νέα συνεργασία;
In Greek, the standard collocation is 'βάζω μια υπογραφή'.
Match the phrase to the register.
Match: 1. Βάζω μια τζίφρα, 2. Θέτω την υπογραφή μου, 3. Βάζω μια υπογραφή
'Τζίφρα' is slang, 'θέτω' is formal, and 'βάζω' is neutral.
Complete the dialogue.
A: Είναι έτοιμο το έγγραφο; B: Ναι, απλώς πρέπει να ______.
This is the most standard and polite way to ask someone to sign.

자주 묻는 질문
4 질문Yes, it is perfectly acceptable in a lawyer's office, though the lawyer might use the more formal 'υπογράφω' in written documents.
Technically yes, but 'αυτόγραφο' is the specific word for a celebrity's signature.
'Υπογράφω' is the verb 'to sign.' 'Βάζω μια υπογραφή' is the action 'to put a signature.' The latter is more common in spoken Greek.
You say 'ψηφιακή υπογραφή.' You can still use the verb 'βάζω' with it.
