Yia Sou Corfu! “Mariposa”

Yia Sou! Possibly the most essential Greek expression of greeting and one of the most common phrases in Greece. 'yia sou ' (=ja:su) is an informal way of saying: hello! What your Greek phrasebook probably won't tell you though, is that 'yia' is a shortened form of the word 'iyia'(=iji:a, υγεία), which means ‘’health’’.
