معنی
Refers to a beloved person.
زمینه فرهنگی
The phrase is a staple in Greek 'Laïka' music. Songs by legends like Stelios Kazantzidis or Giannis Parios often use 'world' and 'life' metaphors to describe love and heartbreak. Greek society is traditionally 'child-centric'. It is very common for parents to refer to their children as their 'world', reflecting the high value placed on the next generation. While secular today, the idea of someone being your 'world' mirrors religious devotion. In Greek Orthodox tradition, the 'Kosmos' is God's creation, so calling a human your 'Kosmos' is a form of secular worship. Greeks, like many Mediterranean peoples, use hyperbole (exaggeration) to show sincerity. Saying someone is 'very important' can sound cold; 'the whole world' sounds honest.
Add 'μου' for extra warmth
Saying 'Είσαι ο κόσμος μου όλος' (You are my whole world) sounds even more personal and is the most common way to say it to a partner.
Don't use for objects
Unlike English where you might say 'This pizza is everything', in Greek this phrase is strictly for people or living beings.
