뜻
To refuse to change one's opinion or position.
문화적 배경
The phrase is a staple of Greek political rhetoric. During the 'Oxi' (No) referendum in 2015, many politicians used variations of this to signal resistance to EU demands. In traditional Greek families, the 'patriarch' or 'matriarch' often uses this phrase to assert authority when their decisions are questioned by younger members. Greeks value 'pazari' (bargaining). Using this phrase too early can end a negotiation, but using it at the right time shows you are a serious and strong partner. The concept of 'not budging' is linked to the 1940 'OXI' (No) to the Italians, a defining moment of modern Greek identity where the nation 'held its position' against all odds.
Use it for emphasis
Add 'με τίποτα' (by no means) at the end to sound 100% determined: 'Δεν φεύγω από τη θέση μου με τίποτα!'
Watch the tone
If you say this with a loud voice, it can sound very aggressive. Use a calm, steady tone to sound 'principled' rather than 'angry'.

The 'Oxi' connection
Greeks love a good 'No'. This phrase is the polite, firm way to say 'No' to a compromise.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문Yes, absolutely. It is used literally when you want to say you are staying in your seat, like at a concert or on a bus.
It can be. It's very firm. It's better to use it when discussing a specific professional point rather than as a general defiance.
'Επιμένω' just means 'I insist.' 'Δεν φεύγω από τη θέση μου' is more dramatic and implies you are resisting pressure to change.
You use the third person past tense: 'Δεν έφυγε από τη θέση του.'
Yes, if you are arguing about a decision in the relationship, e.g., 'Δεν φεύγω από τη θέση μου για το πού θα ζήσουμε.'
Yes: 'Δεν φεύγουμε από τις θέσεις μας.'
It is neutral. It works in a newspaper article and in a kitchen argument.
