"Ie kalie mera fenete apo tin avyie." Translation - "A good day
is determined by the morning." By this one means that how one begins
an assignment determines what the outcome will be. My informant gave
me this example: " If you don't study for school, you will never be a
dentist."
Submitter comment:
I (Chris Polymeneas) have not been studying lately and thus my
informant (my mother) intended the example for me.
