Significado
Organizing a social or professional gathering.
Contexto cultural
Events in Greece often start 30-60 minutes later than scheduled. If an 'εκδήλωση' is set for 8:00 PM, guests usually arrive at 8:45 PM. In Cyprus, 'εκδηλώσεις' like weddings are massive, often involving thousands of guests and a 'shaking hands' ceremony that lasts hours. In communities in the US or Australia, 'εκδηλώσεις' are vital for maintaining Greek identity, often centered around the local church hall. Pop-up 'εκδηλώσεις' in abandoned buildings or parks have become a trend among young creators in Athens.
Use 'μικρή' for modesty
Greeks often say 'Κάνω μια μικρή εκδήλωση' (I'm having a small event) even if it's quite large, to sound humble.
Watch the plural
Don't say 'εκδήλωσες'. The correct plural is 'εκδηλώσεις' (ek-di-lo-sis).
