Significado
To discuss terms for a deal.
Contexto cultural
Negotiation is often preceded by social 'warming up.' Jumping straight into business without a coffee or small talk can be seen as aggressive. In Cyprus, the dialect might use different verbs, but 'κάνω διαπραγμάτευση' remains the standard for formal business and news. Similar to Greece, many Balkan cultures view negotiation as a test of character and wit, not just a financial transaction. In the context of Brussels, 'Greek negotiation' became a specific term during the 2015 crisis, referring to a high-stakes, brinkmanship style.
Use the Plural

Supermarket Rule
Never try to 'κάνεις διαπραγμάτευση' in a Greek supermarket or chain store; it is not culturally accepted.
