confused - dipote?
by Victoria K - Friday, 27 February 2009, 04:58 AM
  Hello everyone,

I am sure that I hear "dipote" when I am watching Greek television. In phrases such as,
ναι, όπος dipote.
However, I cannot find the meaning of this word! Maybe I am misunderstanding the speaker who says something else, such as, όπος είπατε?

Thanks!!
Victoria

  I hope I'll help you,

The word you've heard is οποιοσδήποτε and it means anybody, anyone, whoever and refers to masculine gender. This pronoun comes from relative pronouns οποίoς, οποία, οποίο- who.

οποιοσδήποτε, οποιαδήποτε, οποιοδήποτε- anybody, anyone, whoever

Greetings!

  Γειά σας Victoria,

I'll try to help you again and if I'm wrong someone will correct my explanation.
As I said οποιοσδήποτε, οποιαδήποτε, οποιοδήποτε means anybody, anyone, whoever but also means anyway. You can check this meaning in www.kypros.org

This sentence Πρέπει οπoιοσδήποτε να μιλισουμε! means - We should talk anyway, and this Ηρθες, οπoιοσδηποτε!- You came anyway.

Good luck!
Greetings, Dragana
