Μετά την αποβίβαση, προχωράμε κατευθείαν προς την έξοδο.

Because μετά meaning after takes the accusative case in Modern Greek.

So:

• μετά
  • accusative = after
• την αποβίβαση is the accusative form of η αποβίβαση = the disembarkation

This is very common:

• μετά το μάθημα = after the lesson
• μετά τη δουλειά = after work
• μετά την άφιξη = after the arrival

So μετά την αποβίβαση literally means after the disembarkation.

Αποβίβαση is a noun meaning disembarkation, getting off, or unloading/deboarding, depending on context.

It comes from the verb αποβιβάζομαι / αποβιβάζω, related to getting off a vehicle, ship, plane, etc.

In travel contexts, it usually refers to passengers leaving:

• a plane
• a ferry
• a bus
• a train

So in natural English, μετά την αποβίβαση might be translated as:

• after getting off
• after disembarking
• after deboarding

even though the Greek uses a noun.

The comma separates the introductory time phrase from the main clause.

So the sentence has two parts:

• Μετά την αποβίβαση = after disembarkation
• προχωράμε κατευθείαν προς την έξοδο = we proceed directly toward the exit

This comma is very natural in Greek when a sentence begins with a phrase like after..., when..., in the morning..., etc.

It is similar to English punctuation in sentences like:

• After landing, we go straight to the exit.

Προχωράμε is the 1st person plural of προχωράω / προχωρώ, so it literally means we move forward, we go on, or we proceed.

Here it is in the present tense:

• προχωράω / προχωρώ = I proceed / move forward
• προχωράς = you proceed
• προχωρά = he/she/it proceeds
• προχωράμε = we proceed
• προχωράτε = you all proceed
• προχωρούν / προχωράνε = they proceed

In announcements or instructions, Greek often uses this we form in a general or inclusive way, where English might say:

• we proceed
• please proceed
• proceed

So it can sound a little more formal or instructional than a simple everyday we are walking.

Greek often uses the 1st person plural in instructions, public announcements, and polite guidance. It can sound inclusive, like we all now do this.

So προχωράμε κατευθείαν προς την έξοδο can function like:

• we proceed directly to the exit
• let’s proceed directly to the exit
• please proceed directly to the exit

The exact English translation depends on tone and context.

This kind of usage is common in Greek signs, announcements, and official instructions because it sounds less abrupt than a direct command.

Yes, κατευθείαν is an adverb. It means:

• straight
• directly
• right away, in some contexts

In this sentence, it means directly / straight.

So:

• προχωράμε κατευθείαν = we go straight / we proceed directly

Examples:

• Πήγα κατευθείαν σπίτι. = I went straight home.
• Έλα κατευθείαν εδώ. = Come straight here.
• Προχωρήστε κατευθείαν. = Go straight ahead.

It is a very useful everyday word.

Προς means toward or in the direction of, while στην usually means to / at / into, depending on context.

So there is a slight difference:

• προς την έξοδο = toward the exit
• στην έξοδο = to the exit / at the exit

In this sentence, προς emphasizes direction of movement, which fits very naturally with προχωράμε.

So προχωράμε κατευθείαν προς την έξοδο is literally:

• we proceed directly toward the exit

In English, this is often translated more naturally as:

• we go straight to the exit

even though the Greek literally says toward.

Την έξοδο is in the accusative case.

That is because:

• προς takes the accusative
• the noun is η έξοδος = the exit
• in the accusative singular, it becomes την έξοδο

So:

• nominative: η έξοδος
• accusative: την έξοδο

This pattern is common for feminine nouns ending in -ος, though not all nouns behave the same way.

You can think of προς την έξοδο as:

• toward + the exit
• with the exit appearing in the accusative because of the preposition

Yes. Η έξοδος is the standard word for exit.

You will often see it:

• on signs
• in airports
• in stations
• in theaters
• in official instructions

Examples:

• Έξοδος = Exit
• Έξοδος κινδύνου = Emergency exit

It can also mean going out or departure in other contexts, but in travel and building signage it usually means exit.

A helpful approximate pronunciation is:

Me-TA tin a-pothi-VA-si, pro-ho-RA-me ka-tef-THEE-an pros tin EK-so-tho.

A few points:

• θ sounds like th in think
• δ sounds like th in this
• χ in προχωράμε is like a throaty sound, somewhat like the ch in German Bach
• stress matters a lot in Greek:
  • μετά
  • αποβίβαση
  • προχωράμε
  • κατευθείαν
  • έξοδο

If you want to sound natural, make sure the stressed syllables are clear.

Sometimes, yes, depending on context.

The verb προχωράω / προχωρώ basically has the idea of:

• moving forward
• advancing
• proceeding

So in different contexts it can mean:

• we walk forward
• we go ahead
• we proceed
• we move on

In this sentence, because it sounds like an instruction in a travel setting, we proceed or we go straight is probably the best fit.

If it were a casual physical movement context, it could be closer to we walk on or we move forward.

Yes. A very literal translation might be:

• After disembarkation, we proceed directly toward the exit.

But in more natural English, depending on context, you might say:

• After getting off, we go straight to the exit.
• After disembarking, proceed straight to the exit.
• Once you get off, go directly to the exit.

Greek often sounds slightly more formal or procedural in announcements, and English may prefer a simpler phrasing.

It sounds neutral to slightly formal.

Why?

• αποβίβαση is a more official or travel-related noun
• προχωράμε in this kind of instruction sounds like an announcement
• προς την έξοδο is standard and clear, especially in public guidance

So this would fit well in:

• airport instructions
• ferry or cruise announcements
• written travel guidance
• official directions

In very casual everyday speech, a person might say something simpler, depending on the situation, but this sentence is perfectly normal and natural in its context.
