We have our own unique to Cyprus dialect, we do not have a language that one can translate from any language to Cypriot.

Our dialect is not only unique to Cyprus but also a very attractive one, none more so than the one used in Stroumbi the Great.

Chaki - knife
Chetali - trousers

And probably something real simple like vazani as they would say melinzanes!!!

No mainland Greek would know these words.

Ah... "chaki" ... great word and no self-respecting gent should ever be without a small pocket version in the bounga of their shetali ... of the Swiss Army Type of course.

One of those would qualify as a chaki...???
