    Just browsing in a store

    If you are walking through a store and "just browsing" - anotherwords you are not looking for anything particular but just looking to see what's in the store and if the store clerk asks you if they can help you - what would the Greek phrase be for "just browsing?" It's not "χαζεύουμε" is it?

    Περαστικά

    Following up on this thread, if someone's spouse is seriously ill and may or may not get well would "Να σας ζήσει" be appropriate or would that only be used for a new born child?

    Spiritual Teacher

    What would the phrase be for “spiritual teacher” both specifically if you have a relationship with a Greek Orthodox priest who acts as your guide, or teacher, and more broadly for anyone who acts as a “spiritual teacher” outside the Greek Orthodox faith? I don’t think it would be “πνευματικός...

    spiritual vs. religious

    I am reviving this thread to ask about someone who is spiritual (i.e. thinks about God) but does not go to church “Ο τάδε μπορεί να μην είναι θρησκευτικός – δηλαδή μπορεί να μην πηγαίνει στην εκκλησία --αλλά είναι πνευματικός.» Or if you want to say “I may not be religious in the conservative...

    Landlord

    I was just looking at some of the treads on this site about "Landlord" (some of which I started) and wondering if we can have a deeper discussion about why there would not be a clearer equivalent in Greek? The concept of someone who owns real estate and rents it out is certainly very very...

    Volunteer as a verb

    Is there a Greek verb for to volunteer as in "We're looking for anyone who wants to volunteer to clean the beach" meaning, of course, that they wouldn't get paid in any way. If there isn't a verb what would be the best way to phrase it, please? Thank you.

    To be overruled

    This is a variation on the "Due to circumstances beyond my control" thread below. How would you say "My group has OVERRULED me and we will not rent the bikes..." when you want to communicate that it was not YOUR idea and therefore OUT OF YOUR CONTROL. Thank you!

    due to circumstances beyond my control = λόγω ανωτέρας βίας

    If you want to cancel something like a reservation at a restaurant and you want to say "Due to circumstances beyond my control" you could say "εξαιτίας περιστάσεων πέρα από τον έλεγχό μου" --are there any other ways to say this?

    Περαστικά

    Hello all, When someone is seriously ill would it be wrong to say «Περαστικά»? For example with a life threatening disease? Would «Περαστικά» be more appropriate for a cold, covid, the flue or a broken leg?

    Good morning friends. I am looking for a phrase to say how much I would appreciate it if someone went out of their way and stopped what they were doing to do something urgent for me – more specifically “if you can please complete this task I would really appreciate it.” It's for a favor that...
