    hey I just wanted to share that I moved to a small, remote-ish village in Greece about a year ago (born & raised in Athens, a “big” city for our standards, the biggest in Greece) and it’s quite close to that.

    It’s been amazing although I miss ordering food online and maybe the occasional bar/coffee with friends.

    It’s almost inside a forest and 15’ drive from both mountain and amazing beaches

    Thank you for listening, I honestly hope that everyone has the choice to do the same <3










  • in greek (also gender for every noun, chair is female, dog is male and washing machine is “neutral”) it’s weird when someone uses the wrong gender. mostly non-natives mix them up

    borrowed words are mostly neutral like μπουζί (spark plug) or ντουζ (shower)

    as to what’s english missing I’d say complexity. Learning english and just being able to throw “the” behind any inanimate object is amazing. Also learning the genders that differ from your own language (learning french for example where a cat I think is male but in greek it’s female) is even more difficult
