意思
Stating something is too soon.
文化背景
The 'Greek Time' concept means that being 'early' for a social event (like a party at a house) is actually considered slightly rude. If a party starts at 9 PM, arriving at 9 PM is 'πολύ νωρίς'. Similar to Greece, but in business, Cypriots can be more punctual. However, social life still revolves around late nights where 'νωρίς' is anything before 11 PM. Across the Mediterranean, 'early' is defined by the heat. People stay in during the 'early' afternoon and come out 'late' when it's cooler. In a global context, Greeks might use 'είναι πολύ νωρίς' to signal they need more time to build trust before a deal.
Add 'ακόμα'
Adding 'ακόμα' (akoma - yet/still) makes you sound much more like a native speaker: 'Είναι πολύ νωρίς ακόμα'.
Don't use for 'Soon'
Never use 'νωρίς' to say 'See you soon.' Use 'Τα λέμε σύντομα' instead.

The Dinner Rule
If you are in Greece, remember that 8:00 PM is 'πολύ νωρίς' for dinner at a restaurant. Most locals arrive after 9:30 PM.

5 个问题Yes! 'Πάρα πολύ' means 'way too' or 'extremely.' Use it if someone wakes you up at 3 AM.
It is an adverb. The adjective for 'early' is 'πρόωρος' or 'πρωινός' (morning-related).
You say 'Ήρθα νωρίς' (I came early) or 'Έφτασα νωρίς' (I arrived early).
The opposite is 'αργά' (late). 'Είναι πολύ αργά' means 'It is very late.'
Not really. For fruit, you would say 'δεν είναι ώριμο' (it's not ripe) or 'είναι άγουρο'.
