I can understand the 1st and the 4th word. Translation into Bulgarian language:

fork - vilica. "Vila" has 2 meanings: "pitchfork" and "country house/cottage".

spoon - lazhica ("zh" as in Kozani)

knife - nozh ("zh" as in Kozani)

plate - tchininija ("tch" as in Tchaikovsky)

In Greek Kozani is pronounced with a straight 'z'. Do you mean a more 'tz' sound, as in Kocani?

Χλιάρι ή χουλιάρι είναι παρεφθαρμένη μορφή της αρχαίας ελληνικής λέξης κοχλιάριον, που σημαίνει "κουτάλι". 'Ωσπου να φέρ' η μάμα μ' τα χλιάρια, μπαμπά μ' γίνηκε σαν του γρουν'.

Είμαι Σερραίος, φίλε Κώστα - εκεί γεννήθηκα, εκεί μεγάλωσα (όλη μου η οικογένεια εκεί μένει). Ο πατέρας μου είναι από την Πετρούσα κι η μάνα μου Μικρασιάτισσα. Έχω και φίλους Δαρνάκες (συγχαρητήρια για το περιεχόμενο του νήματος που παρέθεσες).

ΥΓ Θα 'βαζα και δυο συνδέσμους -μια για την Πετρούσα και μια για τα Δαρνακοχώρια-, αλλά δεν μου επιτρέπεται ακόμη. Δεν πειράζει.

Πολύ ωραία,τώρα είμαστε 4 στο φόρουμ,αν κι εσύ πρέπει να είσαι...εκ μεταγραφής Σερραίος,εννοώ ότι η Πετρούσα,αν δεν κάνω λάθος είναι στο νομό Δράμας,μάλλον η μάνα σου πρέπει να είναι Σερραία,ε?Τώρα, απ'ότι κατάλαβα,δεν πρέπει να μένεις στις Σέρρες
