Michael is new at work. On the first day he meets Kostas. “Good morning! I’m Kostas. And you?” “Nice to meet you. My name is Michael.” “Where are you from?” “From America. I’ve been living in Athens for two months.” “And you speak Greek! Well done!” “A little. I study Greek every evening.” At lunchtime Kostas says: “We can say εσύ to each other. What did you say your name was?” And they both laugh.
