Samian wine and the local dialect

SW_ROU~3

There are living, in Samos, linguistic expressions and words, which are related to viticulture and the Samian Muscat wine.

Special words describe the type of soil (asprouplies, balkamia), the cultivation operations (argologima), the plant diseases (sinapidi), the specialized workers for each special work (boujades = barrels), the growth stages of the plant and the fruit (matura, xekundn’a), the tools (ambuliastir’, katsun’, ovanas, th’kel’).

The metaphorical meaning of words that are elements of the dopiolalia and the vocabulary of the grape growers, have been passed down to the current Sami dialect through the expressions of everyday life.
