💡 Memory tip: It's the noun for truth, so asking “Truth?” means “Really?”. The English name Alethea comes from the same word — Αλήθεια; = Really?
“Αλήθεια; Πήρεςτηδουλειά;”
Really? Yougotthejob?
How to use it
Literally “truth?” (η αλήθεια is the noun for truth). Said on its own with a rising tone it means “Really?”. Without the question mark it can also mean “by the way”: Αλήθεια, πού είναι ο Νίκος; (By the way, where's Nikos?)
