Significado
To hold a grudge or be upset at someone.
Contexto cultural
Greeks often use 'τα έχω' as a way to initiate a conversation about a problem. It's not seen as 'drama' but as a necessary step to 'ξεκαθάρισμα' (clearing the air). In urban centers, 'τα έχω με κάποιον' is the standard way to describe a non-married, committed relationship. It's less formal than 'είμαστε σε σχέση'. Many popular songs use 'τα έχω με τον εαυτό μου' or 'τα έχω με τη μοίρα μου' to express existential angst or heartbreak. Parents often use this phrase with children to show they are disappointed rather than just angry. It implies the child has 'broken' the harmony of the house.
Context is King
If you are talking about one person, it usually means anger. If you are talking about two people, it usually means dating.
Watch the Register
Don't use this with your Greek professor or a doctor. It's too casual.
