We can still walk 3b1d4g

A group of us in Greece had just finished our meal and were preparing to leave the taverna, when the waiter came over and said what I thought was Ena taxi? I'd been practicing the language before the holiday and confidently replied in Greek, "No, we are walking". After a few confused looks and some repitition, I found that the waiter had actually asked Endaxi? which means "OK?" I was very embarrassed and explained that the meal was actually very nice. Fortunately, he also saw the funny side and brought us over some some complimentary ouzo too.
