one thing I am confuse is why they said Greek citizen not Greece citizen...
@Sphinx It's simple: "Greece" is the noun, meaning the country. "Greek" is the adjective, meaning people or things that come from this country.
examples:I come from Greece, so I am Greek. I live in Greece as a Greek citizen.I like Greek cheese./This cheese is made in Greece.
Fun fact: In the Greek language we don't call ourselves that! 😂 "Greece" is "Ελλάδα" (Hellas) and "Greek" is "'Έλληνας"/"Ελληνικός" (Hellenic).
Thank you, I need to work on my English more.😊 I guess the same as French and France.
@Sphinx Yes, exactly the same.
