One phrase you will soon get used to is "This is Cyprus" it usualy follows when you've been ripped off or conned by anyone like your landlord car repairer etc.
If you're renting and decide to leave don't pay the last months rent because you'll never ever get your deposit back on the flimsiest of excuses.
The Cypriots are lovely people but they make Jews look like spendthrifts.

So once again we get someone who wasn't willing to argue the toss branding all Cypriots as con artists!

The gullible will always get ripped off in whatever country they are!

Good Morning;

You were too polite

Hi, i have just been offered a good job in cyprus and I am currently considering this. Obviously the lifestyle is a big magnet to the yes side.

The only issue is my parents have put a doubt in my head. This is not to appear presumptious, i have never been to cyprus but my parents have. They seem to think as a pale skinned blonde female that i will find it very hard to live there due to attitudes particularly from men.

I was just curious as to know what people who have been there and or live there think? and are my parents just worrying for no reason.

Kind regards

Jesus / Allah you have not even attent an interview and you got a job whilst abroad . You must possess an extraordinary talent with men or with women.

Did you finish Harvard Business School or you are a relative of Queen ?

[loise]

Being from the Republic of Ireland I am of no relation to the queen!!! Have the qualifications and had a phone interview the job was arranged through a medical company in the uk.

Think you can get ripped of anywhere in the world, just have to keep my wits about me. Glad ye all have such great things to say though!!!

Plus i've spent all weekend trying to wrap my head aroung the greek alphabet and simple phrases. Need to practice them now.

NB: Give emphasis on the bolded letter.


Endaxi = Ok

Ela = come

Oi = No

Nee = Yes

Yiassou = Hi (one)

Yiassas = Hi (many)

Efharisto = Thanks

Efia = I’m off

Avrio = Tomorrow

Ehtes = Yesterday

Broi = Morning

[loise]

O thanks for that! Good to know!

[Get Real!]

Galimera = Good morning

Galispera = Good evening

Ora = Time

Di ora? = What time?

Di? = What?

Bode? = When?

Bou? = Where?

Bosa? = How much/many?

Yiadi? = Why?

Bios? = Who? (masculine)

Bia? = Who? (feminine)

[loise]

How would you say? (sorry by the way)

I only speak a little

or

I don't understand

and

Sorry

Thanks again so much

Be careful what GR teaches you, it's kosher so far, but knowing him, he will slip something dodgy in somewhere!
