Δεν ένιωσα καν αμηχανία, γιατί η στάση τους ήταν γεμάτη ευγένεια και όχι αδιαφορία.

Ένιωσα is the aorist form of νιώθω (to feel). It means I felt.

Greek uses the aorist here because the speaker is talking about a single completed reaction in the past, not an ongoing feeling. So:

• ένιωσα = I felt / I came to feel
• ένιωθα = I was feeling / I used to feel

In this sentence, the idea is: At that moment, I didn’t even feel awkwardness.

Δεν is the normal negative particle used before verbs in Greek. It means not.

So:

• ένιωσα = I felt
• δεν ένιωσα = I did not feel

Its position is very regular: it usually comes directly before the verb, or before the verb phrase.

In a negative sentence, καν adds the meaning even or at all, depending on how you translate it naturally.

So:

• Δεν ένιωσα αμηχανία = I didn’t feel awkwardness / embarrassment
• Δεν ένιωσα καν αμηχανία = I didn’t even feel awkwardness / I didn’t feel any awkwardness at all

Here it strengthens the negation. It shows that not only was the feeling absent, but it was absent completely.

Greek very often uses abstract nouns after verbs like νιώθω or αισθάνομαι.

So νιώθω αμηχανία is a very natural Greek pattern, literally I feel awkwardness/embarrassment.

English often prefers:

• I felt awkward
• I felt embarrassed
• I felt uncomfortable

Greek often prefers:

• ένιωσα αμηχανία

So this is not strange Greek at all; it is a normal way to express the feeling.

Because these are being used as general abstract qualities, not as specific, identifiable things.

So:

• αμηχανία = awkwardness / embarrassment in a general sense
• ευγένεια = politeness
• αδιαφορία = indifference

Greek often leaves out the article with abstract nouns when speaking generally or qualitatively.

Compare:

• ένιωσα αμηχανία = I felt awkwardness / embarrassment
• ένιωσα την αμηχανία εκείνης της στιγμής = I felt the awkwardness of that moment

The article would make the noun more specific.

It can mean both, depending on the sentence.

Here it means because:

• ..., γιατί η στάση τους ήταν... = ..., because their attitude was...

In a question, γιατί can mean why:

• Γιατί έφυγες; = Why did you leave?

So the meaning depends on context, punctuation, and intonation.

Literally, στάση can mean stance, position, or even posture in some contexts. But here it means something more like:

• attitude
• manner
• behavior
• demeanor

So η στάση τους means their attitude / the way they behaved.

That is why the second half explains the emotional impression their behavior created.

In Greek, the short possessive forms usually come after the noun:

• το σπίτι μου = my house
• η φίλη σου = your friend
• η στάση τους = their attitude

So τους here means their, not them.

This is a very common Greek pattern, and English speakers often need time to get used to the possessive coming after the noun.

Because the sentence is talking about their attitude as a whole, as one overall impression.

So η στάση τους means:

• their collective attitude
• the way they came across

Greek, like English, can use a singular noun for a shared or overall quality:

• their attitude was polite
• their behavior was welcoming

If the speaker wanted to stress separate individual attitudes, they might word it differently, but the singular here is completely natural.

Because γεμάτη agrees with στάση, which is feminine singular:

• η στάση = feminine singular
• therefore γεμάτη = feminine singular

The basic adjective is:

• γεμάτος = masculine
• γεμάτη = feminine
• γεμάτο = neuter

So the phrase means full of politeness.

Yes, more or less. Greek often uses γεμάτος / γεμάτη / γεμάτο with a noun to mean full of something.

So:

• γεμάτη ευγένεια = full of politeness
• γεμάτος χαρά = full of joy
• γεμάτο κόσμο = full of people

It is a very natural Greek structure. English usually needs of, but Greek can often use the noun directly after γεμάτη.

This creates a contrast:

• γεμάτη ευγένεια = full of politeness
• και όχι αδιαφορία = and not indifference

The speaker is clarifying the emotional quality of the other people’s behavior. Their attitude did not feel cold or dismissive; it felt polite.

The όχι here is not negating the whole sentence. It is only rejecting the contrasting idea αδιαφορία.

So the sense is: Their attitude showed politeness, not indifference.
