Η ξυριστική μηχανή κάνει λιγότερο θόρυβο, αλλά μετά χρειάζομαι πάλι λίγη ενυδατική κρέμα.

Yes. Η ξυριστική μηχανή literally means the shaving machine, and in normal usage it refers to an electric shaver / electric razor.

• ξυριστική = shaving
• μηχανή = machine, device

So together they form a standard expression for an electric shaving device.

Because the main noun is μηχανή, which is a feminine noun in Greek. The adjective ξυριστική has to agree with it in gender, number, and case.

So:

• η = feminine singular the
• ξυριστική = feminine singular adjective
• μηχανή = feminine singular noun

Greek adjectives must match the noun they describe.

Exactly. Greek very often uses κάνω with nouns in expressions like this.

• κάνει θόρυβο = makes noise
• more naturally in English: it makes noise / it is noisy

This is a very common Greek pattern. Similar expressions are:

• κάνω λάθος = make a mistake
• κάνω υπομονή = be patient / show patience
• κάνω φασαρία = make a fuss / make noise

So κάνει λιγότερο θόρυβο is a perfectly normal way to say it makes less noise.

Here λιγότερο means less in the sense of a smaller amount of noise.

In this sentence, θόρυβο is the object of κάνει, so it appears in the accusative:

• nominative: ο θόρυβος
• accusative: θόρυβο

The phrase λιγότερο θόρυβο is the normal way to say less noise.

A learner may expect adjective agreement, but with quantity expressions Greek often uses λιγότερο in this very natural way before a noun, especially with something like noise, which is treated more like an amount than a countable item.

Because it is the direct object of κάνει.

Dictionary form:

• ο θόρυβος = noise

Direct object form:

• θόρυβο

So:

• Η ξυριστική μηχανή κάνει θόρυβο = The electric razor makes noise

This is a standard masculine noun pattern:

• ο ...ος in the nominative
• ...ο in the accusative

Χρειάζομαι is present tense, first person singular, so it means I need.

A useful point is that this verb has a middle/passive form but an active meaning. That is very common in Greek.

So even though it looks like a passive-type form, it simply means:

• χρειάζομαι = I need
• χρειάζεσαι = you need
• χρειάζεται = he/she/it needs

Also, Greek usually drops the subject pronoun, so there is no need to say εγώ χρειάζομαι unless you want emphasis.

Because Greek is a language that often leaves out subject pronouns when the verb ending already shows who the subject is.

• χρειάζομαι already means I need

So Greek does not need εγώ here.

If you add εγώ, it gives emphasis, something like:

• but I need...
• as for me, I need...

Without εγώ, the sentence sounds neutral and natural.

Here μετά means afterwards / then / after that.

It is being used adverbially, not as a preposition.

So:

• αλλά μετά χρειάζομαι... = but afterwards / but then I need...

Greek μετά can also mean after when followed by a noun:

• μετά το φαγητό = after the meal

But in your sentence, it stands on its own and means afterwards.

Yes. In this sentence πάλι means again.

So:

• μετά χρειάζομαι πάλι... = afterwards I need ... again

It adds the idea that this is something the speaker has to do repeatedly or once more.

A small nuance: πάλι can have different meanings depending on context, such as again, back, or sometimes a contrastive sense like on the other hand. But here the meaning is clearly again.

Because κρέμα is a feminine singular noun, and both words before it agree with it.

• λίγη = a little / some, feminine singular
• ενυδατική = moisturizing, feminine singular
• κρέμα = cream, feminine singular

So all three fit together grammatically.

This phrase means:

• a little moisturizing cream
• or more naturally, some moisturizer

Because λίγος, λίγη, λίγο changes form to match the noun.

Since κρέμα is feminine, Greek uses:

• λίγη κρέμα

Compare:

• λίγος καφές = a little coffee / some coffee if treated as masculine in a particular expression? Not standard for coffee as a mass noun, so better:
• λίγο νερό = a little water
• λίγη ζάχαρη = a little sugar
• λίγο ψωμί = a little bread

So here, because the noun is feminine, λίγη is the correct form.

Because the phrase is indefinite and means some / a little moisturizing cream.

Greek often omits the article with indefinite quantities, especially with mass nouns like cream, water, sugar, etc.

So:

• λίγη ενυδατική κρέμα = some moisturizing cream

If you added an article, it would sound more specific, like talking about a particular cream already known in the conversation.

Yes, very much so. Ενυδατική κρέμα is the normal Greek expression for moisturizing cream or moisturizer.

• ενυδατική comes from the idea of moisturizing / hydrating
• κρέμα = cream

In everyday speech, Greeks may also shorten this depending on context, but ενυδατική κρέμα is the standard full phrase.

The sentence has two main parts joined by αλλά = but.

1. Η ξυριστική μηχανή κάνει λιγότερο θόρυβο

   • The electric razor makes less noise

2. αλλά μετά χρειάζομαι πάλι λίγη ενυδατική κρέμα

   • but afterwards I need some moisturizing cream again

So the speaker is contrasting two results:

• one advantage: less noise
• one disadvantage: I still need moisturizer afterwards

A rough pronunciation guide:

• ξυριστική → ksee-ree-stee-KEE
• μηχανή → mee-ha-NEE
• θόρυβο → THO-ree-vo
• χρειάζομαι → hree-AH-zo-me
• πάλι → PA-lee
• λίγη → LEE-yee
• ενυδατική → e-nee-tha-tee-KEE
• κρέμα → KRE-ma

A few helpful notes:

• ξ sounds like ks
• χρ in χρειάζομαι can be hard for English speakers; the χ is not like English h, but a rougher sound
• θ is like th in think
• stress matters a lot in Greek, so keep the stressed syllables clear
