How to Say “Nut Allergy” in Greek

αλλεργία στους ξηρούς καρπούς
The English phrase "nut allergy" is αλλεργία στους ξηρούς καρπούς in Greek.

How does it change in a sentence?

You can use the phrase with the preposition σε instead of στους to say αλλεργία σε ξηρούς καρπούς. This version means "allergy to nuts" in a more general sense.

Did you know?

  • In Greek, the term καρπός can refer to a fruit seed or nut but also means 'wrist' in anatomy.
  • The word αλλεργία was actually coined in 1906 by an Austrian pediatrician who combined the Ancient Greek words for 'other' and 'work'.
  • The word ξηρούς literally translates to 'dry' in Greek. Therefore, the phrase literally means 'allergy to the dry fruits'.

Examples in context

  • Γεια σας! Θα ήθελα να παραγγείλω χωρίς καρπούς, παρακαλώ. Έχω αλλεργία.
