Ante Geia

[Volcano]

What Means ?

 

[anthodocheio]

In this case, "geia" is for "goodbye", and it all could be translated as "goodbye" or "goodbye then".

You must know that this "ante" is a turkish word..

 

[Volcano]

I ve heard from you now

 

[Vagabond]

I think the Turkish word is something like aide or haide? I don't know Turkish, sorry But it sounds close to that somewhat, and it's where the Greek "ante" came from.

For some more information on the meaning of ante-άντε see this page.

Note that in certain occasions and with the right intonation, "ante geia" (άντε γεια) can have a sort of dismissive meaning/overtone

I searched it and it means "befrore than something",the origin is latin

The turkish word for ante actually translates as hadi in turkish.

In fact, i never heard that we use ante.We say haydi,hayde like pame in greek

 

[MissPrudish]

So you don't have the word "hadi"? Because that's what I have been told by my turkish friends here. Hadi or hade is the translation of our ante i.e. they use it in the same occasions.

 

[ateaofimdomar]

As Volcano said, Turkish uses haydi/hayde, which is pronounced άιντι/άιντε. We do say ade and ayde in Greek, and both are our own version of the Turkish interjection.

Then Ante Geia - Hadi Hoşçakal
