"Καλησπέρα αγόρι"

Translation: Good evening boy

[TriggerSmooth]

σπέρα, compare with latin vesper, both from https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/wek(%CA%B7)speros

French vespéral : of the evening

[Andra129289]

Its hard to make the difference between Καλημέρα and Καλησπέρα!

[GenevieveLaurin]

The sentence "Good evening boy" doesn't seem quite right to me, even though it is the literal translation. I think "Good evening young man" conveys the same sense, while being more polite. In my opinion, it should be an accepted translation.

Should we use "αγόρι" everytime we want to say "καλησπέρα"?

[D_..]

Αγόρι means 'boy', so no.

[pspai]

αγόρι is in the vocative case?

[D_..]

Correct! When you address someone directly, you use their name/title in the vocative case.

[IIIIIIIVV]

any native speaker to explain, as this is not a phrase that is used in English. Would I greet a man this way, or a male in general, or is it really just to address a male child?

[G.Georgopoulos]

It's uncommon, but nevertheless correct if you want to address a friend.
