Bedeutung
Showing work to an audience.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Presentations (παρουσιάσεις) are a major part of the 'ergasia' (term paper) process. Students are expected to defend their work orally. Presentations in Greece are often followed by a long Q&A session. It is not seen as rude to interrupt; it shows interest. Government officials often 'κάνουν παρουσιάσεις' to announce new laws or reforms, which are broadcast live on TV. Greek influencers often use the term when 'presenting' a new product they are sponsoring on Instagram or TikTok.
Use 'θα'
If you are about to start, say 'Θα κάνω μια παρουσίαση' to signal everyone to look at the screen.
Case sensitivity
Always keep 'παρουσίαση' in the accusative case after 'κάνω'. Don't use the nominative 'παρουσίαση' if the sentence structure changes.
