1. Common Phrases You’ll Need for a Date

So, you have met your Greek love interest. Congratulations! Who knows where this could take you…?! However, the two of you have just met and you’re not ready to say the Greek word for love just yet. Great, it is better to get to know him/her first. Wow your prospective love by using these Greek date phrases to set up a spectacular first date.

Would you like to go out to dinner with me?

• Θα ήθελες να βγούμε έξω για δείπνο;
• Tha ítheles na vgúme éxo ya dípno?

The important question! In most cultures, this phrase indicates: ‘I’m romantically interested in you’. Flirting in Greek is no different, so don’t take your date to Mcdonald’s!

Are you free this weekend?

• Είσαι ελεύθερος αυτό το Σαββατοκύριακο;
• Íse eléftheros aftó to Sabatokíriako?

This is a preamble to asking your love interest on a date. If you get an immediate ‘Yes’, that’s good news!

What time shall we meet tomorrow?

• Τι ώρα να συναντηθούμε αύριο;
• Ti óra na sinandithúme ávrio?

Set a time, and be sure to arrive early! Nothing spoils a potential relationship more than a tardy date.

Where shall we meet?

• Πού να συναντηθούμε;
• Pú na sinandithúme?

You can ask this, but also suggest a place.

You look great.

• Δείχνεις πολύ ωραίος.
• Díhnis polí oréos.

A wonderful ice breaker! This phrase will help them relax a bit – they probably took great care to look their best just for you.

You are so cute.

• Είσαι τόσο χαριτωμένος.
• Íse tóso haritoménos.

If the two of you are getting on really well, this is a fun, flirtatious phrase to use.

What do you think of this place?

• Τι γνώμη έχεις γι’ αυτό το μέρος;
• Ti gnómi éhis yi’ aftó to méros?

This another good conversation starter. Show off your Greek language skills!

Can I see you again?

• Μπορώ να σε ξαναδώ;
• Boró na se xanadó?

So the date went really well – don’t waste time! Make sure you will see each other again.

Shall we go somewhere else?

• Θες να πάμε κάπου αλλού;
• Thes na páme kápu alú?

If the place you meet at is not great, you can suggest going elsewhere. It is also a good question to follow the previous one. Variety is the spice of life!

I know a good place.

• Ξέρω ένα καλό μέρος.
• Xéro éna kaló méros.

Use this with the previous question. However, don’t say if you don’t know a good place!

I will drive you home.

• Θα σε πάω σπίτι.
• Tha se páo spíti.

If your date doesn’t have transport, this is a polite, considerate offer. However, don’t be offended if she/he turns you down on the first date. Especially a woman might not feel comfortable letting you drive her home when the two of you are still basically strangers.

That was a great evening.

• Ήταν μια ωραία βραδιά.
• Ítan mia oréa vradiá.

This is a good phrase to end the evening with.

When can I see you again?

• Πότε μπορώ να σε ξαναδώ;
• Póte boró na se xanadó?

If he/she replied ‘Yes’ to ‘Can I see you again?’, this is the next important question.

I’ll call you.

• Θα σε πάρω τηλέφωνο.
• Tha se páro tiléfono.

Say this only if you really mean to do it. In many cultures, this could imply that you’re keeping the proverbial backdoor open.

2. The Most Romantic Ideas for a Date

You learned all the Greek phrases to make a date – congratulations! Now you have to decide where to meet, which can be tricky. Discuss these options with your lover to gauge whether you like the same things. Check out romantic date ideas in Greek below!

museum

• μουσείο
• musío

If you’re looking for unique date ideas that are fun but won’t break the bank, museums are the perfect spot! You won’t be running out of things to say in the conversations.

candlelit dinner

• δείπνο με κεριά
• dípno me keriá

A candlelit dinner is perhaps best to reserve for when the relationship is getting serious. It’s very intimate, and says: “Romance!” It’s a fantastic choice if you’re sure you and your date are in love with each other!

go to the zoo

• πηγαίνετε στον ζωολογικό κήπο
• piyénete ston zooloyikó kípo

This is a good choice for shy lovers who want to get the conversation going. Just make sure your date likes zoos, as some people dislike them. Maybe not for the first date, but this is also a great choice if your lover has children – you’ll win his/her adoration for inviting them along!

go for a long walk

• πηγαίνετε για έναν μεγάλο περίπατο
• piyénete ya énan megálo perípato

Need to talk about serious stuff, or just want to relax with your date? Walking together is soothing, and a habit you can keep up together always! Just make sure it’s a beautiful walk that’s not too strenuous.

go to the opera

• πήγαινε στην όπερα
• píyene stin ópera

This type of date should only be attempted if both of you love the opera. It can be a special treat, followed by a candlelit dinner!

go to the aquarium

• πηγαίνετε στο ενυδρείο
• piyénete sto enidrío

Going to the aquarium is another good idea if you need topics for conversation, or if you need to impress your lover’s kids! Make sure your date doesn’t have a problem with aquariums.

walk on the beach

• περπατήστε στην παραλία
• perpatíste stin paralía

This can be a very romantic stroll, especially at night! The sea is often associated with romance and beauty.

have a picnic

• κάντε ένα πικ νικ
• kánde éna pik ník

If you and your date need to get more comfortable together, this can be a fantastic date. Spending time in nature is soothing and calms the nerves.

cook a meal together

• μαγειρέψτε ένα γεύμα μαζί
• mayirépste éna yévma mazí

If you want to get an idea of your date’s true character in one go, this is an excellent date! You will quickly see if the two of you can work together in a confined space. If it works, it will be fantastic for the relationship and create a sense of intimacy. If not, you will probably part ways!

have dinner and see a movie

• δειπνήστε και δείτε μια ταινία
• dipníste ke díte mia tenía

This is traditional date choice works perfectly well. Just make sure you and your date like the same kind of movies!

I love you.

• Σ’ αγαπώ.
• S’ agapó

Saying ‘I love you’ in Greek carries the same weight as in all languages. Use this only if you’re sure and sincere about your feelings for your partner/friend.

You mean so much to me.

• Σημαίνεις τόσα πολλά για μένα.
• Siménis tósa polá ya ména.

This is a beautiful expression of gratitude that will enhance any relationship! It makes the receiver feel appreciated and their efforts recognized.

Will you be my Valentine?

• Θες να γίνεις ο Βαλεντίνος μου;
• Thes na yínis o Valentínos mu?

With these words, you are taking your relationship to the next level! Or, if you have been a couple for a while, it shows that you still feel the romance. So, go for it!

You’re so beautiful.

• Είσαι τόσο όμορφος.
• Íse tóso ómorfos.

If you don’t know how to say ‘You’re pretty’ in Greek, this is a good substitute, gentlemen!

I think of you as more than a friend.

• Σε βλέπω σαν κάτι παραπάνω από φίλο.
• Se vlépo san káti parapáno apó fílo.

Say this if you are not yet sure that your romantic feelings are reciprocated. It is also a safe go-to if you’re unsure about the Greek dating culture.

A hundred hearts would be too few to carry all my love for you.

• Εκατό καρδιές θα ήταν πολύ λίγες για να κρατήσουν όλη την αγάπη μου για σένα.
• Ekató kardiés tha ítan polí líyes ya na kratísun óli tin agápi mu ya séna.

You romantic you…! When your heart overflows with love, this would be the best phrase to use.

Love is just love. It can never be explained.

• Η αγάπη είναι απλώς αγάπη. Δεν μπορεί να εξηγηθεί ποτέ.
• I agápi íne aplós agápi. Den borí na exiyithí poté.

If you fell in love unexpectedly or inexplicably, this one’s for you.

You’re so handsome.

• Είσαι τόσο γοητευτικός.
• Íse tóso goiteftikós.

Ladies, this phrase lets your Greek love know how much you appreciate his looks! Don’t be shy to use it; men like compliments too.

I’ve got a crush on you.

• Έχω καψούρα μαζί σου.
• Ého kapsúra mazí su.

If you like someone, but you’re unsure about starting a relationship, it would be prudent to say this. It simply means that you like someone very, very much and think they’re amazing.

You make me want to be a better man.

• Με κάνεις να θέλω να γίνω καλύτερος άνθρωπος.
• Me kánis na thélo na yíno kalíteros ánthropos.

Gentlemen, don’t claim this phrase as your own! It hails from the movie ‘As Good as it Gets’, but it is sure to make your Greek girlfriend feel very special. Let her know that she inspires you!

Let all that you do be done in love.

• Όλα όσα λέγετε και κάνετε ας γίνονται με αγάπη.
• Óla ósa léyete ke kánete as yínonde me agápi.

We hope.

You are my sunshine, my love.

• Είσαι το φως μου, αγάπη μου.
• Íse to fos mu, agápi mu.

A compliment that lets your lover know they bring a special quality to your life. Really nice!

Words can’t describe my love for you.

• Οι λέξεις δεν μπορούν να περιγράψουν την αγάπη μου για σένα.
• I léxis den borún na perigrápsun tin agápi mu ya séna.

Better say this when you’re feeling serious about the relationship! It means that your feelings are very intense.

We were meant to be together.

• Ήταν γραφτό να είμαστε μαζί.
• Ítan graftó na ímaste mazí.

This is a loving affirmation that shows you see a future together, and that you feel a special bond with your partner.

If you were thinking about someone while reading this, you’re definitely in love.

• Αν σκεφτόσουν κάποιον ενώ διάβαζες αυτό, τότε είσαι σίγουρα ερωτευμένος.
• An skeftósun kápion enó diávazes aftó, tóte íse sígura erotevménos.

6. Marriage Proposal Lines

Wow. Your Greek lover is indeed the love of your life – congratulations! And may only happiness follow the two of you!

7. 15 Most Common Break-Up Lines

Instead of moving towards marriage or a long-term relationship, you find that the spark is not there for you. That is a pity! But even though breaking up is never easy, continuing a bad or unfulfilling relationship would be even harder. Remember to be kind to the person you are going to say goodbye to; respect and sensitivity cost nothing. Here are some phrases to help you break up gently.

We need to talk.

• Πρέπει να μιλήσουμε.
• Prépi na milísume.

This is not really a break-up line, but it is a good conversation opener with a serious tone.

I’m just not ready for this kind of relationship.

• Απλά δεν είμαι έτοιμη για μια τέτοιου είδους σχέση.
• Aplá den íme étimi ya mia tétiu ídus schési.

Things moved a bit fast and got too intense, too soon? Painful as it is, honesty is often the best way to break up with somebody.

Let’s just be friends.

• Ας μείνουμε απλά φίλοι.
• As mínume aplá fíli.

If the relationship was very intense, and you have sent many ‘i love u’ texts in Greek, this would not be a good breakup line. Feelings need to calm down before you can be friends, if ever. If the relationship has not really developed yet, a friendship would be possible.

I think we need a break.

• Νομίζω ότι χρειαζόμαστε ένα διάλειμμα.
• Nomízo óti hriazómaste éna diálima.

This is again honest, and to the point. No need to play with someone’s emotions by not letting them know how you feel. However, this could imply that you may fall in love with him/her again after a period of time, so use with discretion.

You deserve better.

• Σου αξίζει κάτι καλύτερο.
• Su axízi káti kalítero.

Yes, he/she probably deserves a better relationship if your own feelings have cooled down.

I need my space.

• Χρειάζομαι μια απόσταση.
• Hriázome mia apóstasi.

When a person is too clingy or demanding, this would be an suitable break-up phrase. It is another good go-to for that lover who doesn’t get the message!

I think we’re moving too fast.

• Νομίζω ότι προχωράμε πολύ γρήγορα.
• Nomízo óti prohoráme polí grígora.

Say this if you want to keep the relationship, but need to slow down its progress a bit. It is also good if you feel things are getting too intense for your liking. However, it is not really a break-up line, so be careful not to mislead.

I need to focus on my career.

• Πρέπει να επικεντρωθώ στην καριέρα μου.
• Prépi na epikendrothó stin kariéra mu.

If you feel that you will not be able to give 100% in a relationship due to career demands, this is the phrase to use. It’s also good if you are unwilling to give up your career for a relationship.

I’m not good enough for you.

• Δεν είμαι αρκετή για σένα.
• Den íme arketí ya séna.

Say this only if you really believe it, or you’ll end up sounding false. Break-ups are usually hard for the receiving party, so don’t insult him/her with an insincere comment.

I just don’t love you anymore.

• Απλώς δεν σ’ αγαπώ πια.
• Aplós den s’ agapó pia.

This harsh line is sometimes the best one to use if you are struggling to get through to a stubborn, clingy lover who won’t accept your break up. Use it as a last resort. Then switch your phone off and block their emails!

We’re just not right for each other.

• Απλώς δεν είμαστε ο ένας για τον άλλον.
• Aplós den ímaste o énas ya ton álon.

If this is how you truly feel, you need to say it. Be kind, gentle and polite.

It’s for the best.

• Είναι για το καλύτερο.
• Íne ya to kalítero.

This phrase is called for if circumstances are difficult and the relationship is not progressing well. Love should enhance one’s life, not burden it!

We’ve grown apart.

• Έχουμε απομακρυνθεί ο ένας απ’ τον άλλον.
• Éhume apomakrinthí o énas ap’ ton álon.

Cross-cultural relationships are often long-distance ones, and it is easy to grow apart over time.

It’s not you. It’s me.

• Δεν έχει να κάνει με σένα, έχει να κάνει με μένα.
• Den éhi na káni me séna, éhi na káni me ména.

As long as you mean it, this can be a kind thing to say. It means that there’s nothing wrong with your Greek lover as a person, but that you need something different from a relationship.

We should start seeing other people.

• Πρέπει να αρχίσουμε να βγαίνουμε με άλλους.
• Prépi na arhísume na vyénume me álus.

This is probably the least gentle break-up phrase, so reserve it for a lover that doesn’t get the message!

Wrap-Up

The Greek language has many different ways to say “I love you,” all of which are just as romantic as the next. My personal favorite is “s’agapo,” which is pronounced Sah-gah-poh and means “I love you very much.” Other popular expressions of love include “ti polemai” (tee poh-lay-my), which means “I am fighting for you,” and “ola gamata” (oh-lah gah-mah-tah), which means “I am consumed by you.” No matter which one you choose, saying “I love you” in Greek is sure to sweep your loved one off their feet!

• #1

Hi.

Okay, in looking up Greek (and finding helpful sites that transliterated from Greek to Greeklish), I was able to find ‘I love you’ fairly easily. S’Agapo.

But, how do I say ‘I love you, too’ in Greek? That I could never find.

Also, trying to figure out something more broadly:

For some collaborative writing I do, there are two boys. Around 9. In a spaceborne military school. They’ve come to consider themselves brothers, regardless of whether they’re related by blood or not.

Greek, I know, has plenty of words to describe relationships with.

In modern Greek, which word do I use for things like ‘Silly brother’ or ‘I love you, brother’?

• #2

Well, I have a terrible headache so I will answer your first question which is the only one I can understand at the moment…

S’agapo or S’agapw (in greeklish) is written «Σ’αγαπώ» in Greek!
It means «I love you»!
You can also add here: «Σε λατρεύω» that means «I adore you»!

• #3

Penta, s’agapo in greek is I love you either if I feel you like my brother or I feel you like my lover…

I love you too

I think is «ke ego s’agapo»

• #4

S’ agapo = Σ’ αγαπώ

is «I love you» for everyboby, lover, brother, child, friend etc.
if you want to respond is

«kego s’ agapo» = Κι εγώ σ’ αγαπώ (Κι = and / εγώ = i)

.
Σ’ αγαπώ, αδερφέ=S’ agapo, aderfe = i love you, brother.

Are your other half Greek and you would like to know Greek words for love to say to them? Are you going on holiday to Greece, and would you like to enrich the experience for your other half by speaking words of love to them in Greek? In this article, you will learn 5 ways to express your love in Greek. The Greek language is very rich and there are many ways to say to someone that you love them. I am sure that when you are in Greece, especially in the Greek islands, you will feel more in love and loved and expressing love would be much easier for you. Let’s go ahead and learn how to do it.

How to say ‘’I love you” in Greek   

The best way to express your love is of course to say ‘’I love you” to someone. I love you in Greek is ‘‘σ‘ αγαπώ”. However, there are also other ways to say that you love someone. You can say ‘’αγάπη μου” (my love) and ‘’είσαι η αγάπη μου” (you are my love). You can also say something like ‘’σ’ αγαπώ μέχρι τον ουρανό / μέχρι το φεγγάρι / μέχρι τα αστέρια”. This expression is the equivalent of the English one I love you to the moon and back. In Greek, we use lots of celestial bodies!   

How to say ‘’my baby” in Greek

A very common way to speak to your loved ones is to call them ‘’my baby”. You can do that by saying ‘’μωρό μου”. The word ‘’μώρο” is used also in the diminutive form ‘‘μωράκι μου”. Usually, this form in Greek is used to show that something is small but at the same time, it means that you like or love someone or something. For example, if you say ‘’το σπιτάκι μου” (my little house) it does not necessarily mean that your house is small. It means that you like your house!

How to use another term of endearment which means ‘’my soul” in Greek

The use of the word ‘’soul” is very common in expressing your love in Greek. To say that you can say ‘‘ψυχή μου” (my soul). You can use the diminutive form here as well. You can say ‘‘ψυχούλα μου” which again shows that you love or like someone.  Like the word ‘’ψυχή” is the word ‘’καρδιά” in this context. So, you can say to someone ‘’καρδιά μου” or ‘’καρδούλα μου”. Another, example that I would say is similar is the word ‘’ζωή”. You can say to someone ‘’΄ζωή μου” with the same meaning as above. In this case, however, the diminutive is not used.  These words are not used always between lovers. You can use them with your children as well. It is a very nice way to express your love to them.

Some other Greek words for love: compliments

Of course, if you love someone you want to compliment them to make them feel special and unique. There are different ways to do that in Greek. Let’s see the best ways. You can say ‘‘ομορφιά μου” (my beauty) or ‘‘είσαι πολύ όμορφη / ος” (you are very beautiful). Another way is ‘’Γλυκε /ιά μου” (my sweetie). You can even say to someone ‘‘αστέρι μου” (my star). Another phrase you can use is ‘’έρωτά μου” which also mean my love. Now, if you doubt whether these are proper words to use and whether Greeks use them, I would say that you can use them all by all means. Greeks generally like to use such words. Especially men to women!   

A funny classic expression in Greek

To finish, we have a funny and classic expression that is used for flirting but it is also used to joke with your partner. I must say that for flirting, 99% of the time it does not work as it is very banal! The expression is ‘’Ζαχαροπλάστης ήταν ο μπαμπάς σου;” (Was your father a pastry chef?). By saying that, you mean that you are so beautiful and sweet that only a pastry chef father can ‘’make” such a sweet person! Of course, this is something that might not work if you really want to flirt, but as a joke with your partner, it is very nice! 😊 So, I would suggest using it in this context only!

In conclusion, I am sure that using these words and expressions will make a very good impression on your partner and you can have some fun together! So, don’t hesitate to use them! Below we have a video with all the words and expressions referred to in this article so you can hear the pronunciation and learn how to say these words correctly!

Valentine’s Day (η Ημέρα του Αγίου Βαλεντίνου, imera tou Agiou Valentinou) is coming with teddies, chocolates and flowers, all wrapped in pink paper.  In Greece, Saint Valentine has many believers, the most fervent of which are teenagers.  Some people like this day and some others hate it. There are also those who wonder if Saint Valentine’s popularity is due to marketing or just to people’s need to communicate their affection.
If your alter ego is Greek   and you would like to express your feelings, the following  phrases might be usuful:
1. Σ’αγαπώ (sagapo) = I love you.

This is one of the first things people learn in Greek, so I guess you already knew that. Be careful with that and don’t use it unless you mean it.
2. Μου λείπεις (mou lipis)= I miss you
3. Σε θέλω (se thelo)= I want you
4. Μωρό μου (moro mou)= baby
5. Αγάπη μου (agapi mou)= love or my love
6. Σε σκέφτομαι  / σε σκέφτομαι συνέχεια (se skeftome / se skeftome sinehia)= I’m thinking of you / I’m thinking of you all the time.
7. Είσαι η ζωή μου (ise i zoi mou)= you are my life. It’s not as dramatic as it sounds, it’s just a way to express strong feelings.
