"Δεν είναι η κούπα μου."

Translation: It is not my cup.

[kyriakoSorokkou]

Fun fuct: In Cyprus we only use φλιτζάνι for both cup and mug. Κούπα in Cyprus is a minced meat delicacy

[RaleighStarbuck]

Υπάρχει μία διαφορά ανάμεσα στη λέξη "κούπα" και τη λέξη "φλιτζάνι";

[jaye16]

The way I know it is:

φλιτζάνι cup as for tea or coffee would usually have a πιατάκι saucer

κούπα mug

ποτήρι glass

Hope that helps.

[RaleighStarbuck]

Ναι, αυτό με βοηθάει πολύ. Ευχαριστώ.

[Marva441926]

What is the defining criterion of ποτήρι as opposed to κούπα or φλιτζάνι? Is it a matter of material or shape or both?

[jaye16]

A ποτήρι is a glass, a φλιτζάνι is a cup the kind with a saucer and κούπα is a mug. There might be some overlapping. I'd suggest googling them and checking out the images.

I just noticed that I replied to this a year ago we should both learn to read the comments before posting. :-)

Jaye16 your description is helpful, even great, but duolingo still calls κούπα a cup...both in this exercise and in hints elsewhere.

[G.Georgopoulos]

There are some images of mugs on Google Images when typing "cup" into the search box, however.

but duolingo still calls κούπα a cup

Hi Bill, Jaye16 is right but κούπα can also be 'cup', as well as 'mug': https://www.wordreference.com/gren/κούπα

Similar to English, where a mug can be referred to as a 'cup'.

My mind went to playing cards...Isn't κούπα the name of a suit in playing cards? Therefore, shouldn't "It is not my heart" be correct?

[jaye16]

Now if that isn't thinking outside the box. Well done. I'm adding "heart" as a translation. Thank you.

[Michael747273]

I wrote γούπα instead of κούπα, it gave no correction.

[G.Georgopoulos]

Are you positive it didn't even underline the "κ"?
