Hello Community,

Did you know that the Greek language has borrowed a few words from Italian to use in everyday life?

Let's see 5 of them:

  1. Μπαλκόνι (balcony) - In Greek is εξώστης (exostis)
  2. Κατσαρόλα (pot) - In Greek is χύτρα (hitra)
  3. Γραβάτα (tie) - In Greek is λαιμοδέτης (lemodetis)
  4. Κομπλιμέντο (compliment) - In Greek is φιλοφρόνηση (filofronisi)
  5. Πιλότος (pilot) - In Greek is αεροπόρος (aeroporos)
