意思
Asking for moderation.
文化背景
The concept of 'Metron' is central to Greek philosophy. Even in modern times, while Greeks are passionate, there is a deep respect for someone who knows their limits. In Cyprus, the phrase is used similarly, though you might hear the dialectal 'Μεν το παρακάμνεις' in rural areas. In Greek-American or Greek-Australian communities, this is one of the 'heritage' phrases that survives even when the rest of the language fades, often used by parents to children.
The 'Past Tense' Trick
If you want to tease a friend who just made a huge mistake or a very bad joke, say 'Το παράκανες!' (You overdid it!). It's a very common reaction.
Don't forget the 'TO'
Saying 'Μην παρακάνεις' sounds like you've forgotten how to speak. Always keep that 'το' in there!
