learning greek language

Heey everybody!
I have a lot of friends from Greece and I always talk with them.I want to learn greek language, so I often speak with them greek, but I always have questions, but they can't explain me.
If I have a question, can I write here and can you help me, please?

First I have this questions:
when do you use ka8olou?
when do you say "siga siga"?
when do you say "mallon" and what does it mean?
when do you say "diladh" and what does it mean?

Thanks in advance

ka8olou generally means not at all but when we translate from English to Greek, we use ka8olou in place of many English phrases.
For example:

Not friendly at all -> ka8olou filikos
Not a bit of it -> ka8olou
No better than... -> ka8olou kaliteros apo...

siga siga suggests a "slow pace" . Literally means slowly

for example:

walk slowly -> perpata siga siga

Mallon means rather. We use it in the same way as English people use the word rather.
But sometimes we use it alone while in English it's usually accompanied by a verb...

For example:

Q: Will you come tomorrow?
A: I'll rather come

In Greek we can say:

A: Mallon tha ertho

or simply

A: Mallon.

Same meaning. We don't need in the answer the verb "erxomai" to understand what the meaning is... It's assumed.

diladh (this is a difficult one.)
There is not a specific word in English to translate this Greek word.
Has the following meanings:

namely
that is to say...
that is...
i.e.

plus some more...

For example:

Ti theleis na ginei diladh? -> What you want it to be anyway?
Tou eipa na prosexei otan odigaei. Diladh tou eipa na pigainei siga -> I told him to be carefull while driving. That is, i told him to drive slowly



I hope this helps....

Thank you soo so much!!
You helped me a lot, but 'diladh' its really very hard to understand...
I have got an other question!
what's the different of 'alla' and 'omws'?or is there any different?when do you use 'alla' and when 'omws'?
Thank you so much again!

αλλά = but (strictly)

όμως , most of the times means "but" but sometimes can mean "however" , "again" ... these come in mind right now...

example "όμως" as "however" :

i invited them, however they weren't able to come

example "όμως" as "again" :

...then again i don't believe that...

Thank you again safe!!

you 're welcome

Okaaay..I have got again questions...
Sorry, but if you're bored of my questions, you don't have to answer me..really I'm sorry that I have so much questions..I just want to learn greek and I love it sooooo mucchhh..
So the next questions are:
what is 'kale' and when do you use it?
what does 'makia' mean?
Thank yoooooouuuu so much!!

That's why we are here, don't worry...

Let's start from the easy one:

makia = kisses

kale is like "re" ( we discussed about this some time before )
