What is MeraKi?
If you search the web for “MeraKi” you will find that it is considered a noun. Or a verb. Or an adjective. Or an adverb. Many Greek native speakers say it is indeed a noun – you do things with MeraKi. It is no coincidence that this word is often associated with food and cooking, and that I stumbled upon it while I was looking for a name for my freelance business.
Anything associated with food is deeply ingrained in my identity of Italian and foodie – that is why it is one of the area in which I specialise. To do something with MeraKi means to do it with a light heart and a smile on your face. It means to put a little bit, or better a lot of, yourself into it.
Why MeraKi?
I was born in Taranto, a town in Apulia, South Italy, and of strong Greek heritage. I wanted for the name to carry the presence of this heritage – in a way or another, a deep consciousness of my heritage has accompanied me in my journey through countries, languages and cultures.
The meaning of MeraKi itself has also stuck with me: I translate with MeraKi. I translate with passion, I am deeply interested in the mechanism of conveying a message from a cultural point of view to another. I am all for a seamless flow of words that just makes your client get what you have to offer.
