Is Europe really falling out of love with English? Chris Harris, EuroNews
Phrases only native speakers use in 17 European languages
I've certainly never heard this phrase in Greek:
‘If you Έφαγα πόρτα’ you’ve ‘eaten door’ – or rather, you’ve been rejected from entering somewhere.’
Strange.
Full quote from Voices Magazine:
Greek
"Let’s start with things you might eat – or at least, things you might eat figuratively.'Έφαγα τον κόσμο να σε βρώ' meaning ‘I ate the whole world to find you’ means you looked everywhere for someone. If you Έφαγα πόρτα’, you’ve ‘eaten door’ – or rather, you’ve been rejected from entering somewhere, such as a fancy club or restaurant".
