   Meaning: Even though / Although / Despite the fact that

   Pronunciation: pah-ROH-lo poo

   2. Έλα μαζί μου. — Come with me.

   Type: Noun (masculine)

   Meaning: The reason / Speech / words (τα λόγια)

   Pronunciation: oh LOH-ghos

   How it's used: λόγος is a rich, versatile word. Most commonly in everyday conversation it means "reason" or "cause," but it also carries the meaning of "speech" — which is why you'll find it in compound words like διάλογος (dialogue) and μονόλογος (monologue). Worth knowing deeply.

   Examples:

   1. Ποιος είναι ο λόγος; — What is the reason?
   2. Δεν υπάρχει λόγος να ανησυχείς. — There's no reason to worry.

   Pronunciation: ee see-NEE-thee-ah

   How it's used: συνήθεια covers both personal habits and broader customs or traditions. You'll also hear the related adverb συνήθως (usually) constantly in everyday Greek — so learning this word unlocks two for the price of one.

   1. Έχω μια κακή συνήθεια. — I have a bad habit.
   2. Είναι μια παλιά ελληνική συνήθεια. — It's an old Greek custom.

   Pronunciation: ah-KOH-mah

   How it's used: ακόμα is one of those small words that shows up constantly. Depending on context it means "still" (something ongoing), "yet" (something that hasn't happened), or "even" (to add emphasis). Getting comfortable with it makes your Greek sound much more fluid.

   Examples:

   1. Ακόμα μαθαίνω ελληνικά. — I'm still learning Greek.
   2. Δεν έφτασε ακόμα. — He hasn't arrived yet.
