* Direct translation: "cutie" doesn't translate well. It's considered a bit too childish or informal for most adult interactions.
* Greek culture: Greek culture emphasizes warmth, respect, and genuine connection. Instead of focusing on physical attributes, you'll find phrases that convey kindness and care.
Here are some more appropriate ways to say "Hi how are you" in Greek, depending on the context:
* Formal: "Γειά σου, τι κάνεις;" (Ya sou, ti kaneis?)
* Informal: "Καλημέρα, τι κάνεις;" (Kalimera, ti kaneis?) (Good morning) or "Καλησπέρα, τι κάνεις;" (Kalispera, ti kaneis?) (Good evening)
* To a friend: "Έλα ρε, τι κάνεις;" (Ela re, ti kaneis?) (Hey, what's up?)
Remember: Always use the appropriate level of formality depending on who you're talking to!
