Rekse bodji rah patchaourah.

I hear that word 'bodji' in almost every second or third sentence of spoken Cypriot Greek and I have never been able to work out what it means. Would anybody care to put me out of my misery?

Roughly "over there".

Roughly "over there".

In that case, how does it differ from "djame"?

Djame is more like 'There' or 'By there' In thr non cypriot it'll be Ekei

bodji is as already stated loosely 'Over There'. Non Cypriot Apo Ekei.
