Good mornin' @BlueTodays Greek word is
Καλημέρα (Kal E mer ah) Note the stress mark on the 'e', which means the 'mer' is said more loudly.
'Καλημέρα' means 'Good morning'.
Did you get out for a ride & have you packed in the TT's now ?
Posted this question yesterday but somehow attached it to our @Mo1959

Hoorah! and Bally Hoo!! just got an email confirming I've passed my Leadership assignment!!! Passed at P4 grade (whatever that means!) If I'd balanced it a bit more toward theory I would have got a distinction - but I don't care, I've passed something!!!!!

Yeah, packed in the TT's as my increasing age was preventing decreasing times!!
My club has an average speed based Gold, Silver, Bronze medal award system and I held on until I achieved a little target which was to become the first person aged 60+ to get above Bronze. I reached 60 last year, got the Silver and retired!! The club courses are tough so it was no mean achievement.
I always train on the turbo in the winter as I use power to measure effort and I train 6 days a week. I still train hard for fitness sake but I've dropped the intervals as they were taking too much out of me - too many birthdays, as they say!

Very much so.
What looks like a French accent is called a stress mark and it's found in all multi syllable words to show which part of a word is stressed. The position of the stress can completely change the meaning of similar words. I will cover things like that in future lessons.
You are correct to notice that the first two words are similar and that is an issue I was going to mention later. The Greek word for 'good' in the feminine gender is 'καλή' . The Greek word for day is μέρα, which is a feminine noun. They are put together with only one stress to produce a separate word/expression.
Gold star to this student
Many congratulations.

Now, always remember to have the confidence of your competence.
