意思
Dismissing an apology.
文化背景
Greeks often use this phrase to avoid making the other person feel 'shame' (ntropi). It's part of the social contract of being easy-going. In Cyprus, you might hear 'Εν πειράζει' (En peirazei) instead of 'Δεν πειράζει,' reflecting the local dialect's negation. In Greek-American or Greek-Australian communities, this phrase is often one of the few that non-fluent speakers retain to show politeness. In a Greek office, saying this to a subordinate who made a small error builds loyalty and a 'family' atmosphere.
The Double 'Den'
Greeks often repeat 'Δεν πειράζει, δεν πειράζει' to sound extra sincere and warm.
Tone Matters
If said with a flat tone and no eye contact, it can sound like you are actually annoyed. Smile!
