意思
Turning on a machine or plan.
文化背景
The phrase is often associated with the 'opening' of major infrastructure projects, which are frequently delayed in Greece, making the 'θέση σε λειτουργία' a moment of political celebration. Similar usage to Greece, but in Cypriot dialect, you might hear more influence from English 'start-άρει' in informal tech contexts. Second-generation Greeks often simplify this to 'ανοίγω' (turn on) due to English influence, losing the nuance of 'operation'. In the massive Greek shipping industry, this phrase is critical for engine room operations and is used with extreme precision.
Manuals are your friend
If you want to see this phrase in the wild, look at any Greek user manual. It will always be there under 'Starting up'.
No 'the'!
Remember: it's 'σε λειτουργία', not 'στη λειτουργία'. Adding the article makes it sound like a specific, pre-defined mode rather than the general state of operation.

Use 'Θέτω' for interviews
In a job interview, say 'Έθεσα σε λειτουργία ένα νέο σύστημα αρχειοθέτησης'. It sounds much more professional than 'Έβαλα'.
The 'Bros' alternative
If you are at a gas station or with a mechanic, use 'Βάλε μπρος'. It builds instant rapport.
