意思
Proposing a movie outing.
文化背景
Cinema is a social outing. It is rare for Greeks to go to the cinema alone; it is almost always a group activity followed by food or drinks. Athens has one of the highest densities of outdoor cinemas in the world. The 'Therino Cinema' is a protected cultural heritage. Younger generations often use 'Ψήνεσαι;' (Are you grilled?) instead of 'Πάμε;' to sound more cool and informal. Greek cinemas always have a 10-15 minute break. This is a vital part of the experience for socializing and buying snacks.
Drop the 'στο'
To sound like a native, always drop the 'στο' when making the invitation. It makes you sound much more fluent and casual.
The 'After' Plan
In Greece, 'Πάμε σινεμά;' usually implies '...and then we'll go for a drink or food.' Be prepared for a long night!
