Q

That’s a great idea!

A

Αυτό είναι μια καλή ιδέα!

ΝΟΤΕ

the first word - αυτό - is declined as neuter despite the subject being feminine. You would expect the word to be written thus: ‘αυτή’

My personal thinking at the time of writing is this:

imagine that the speaker, instead of being focused on the word ‘ιδέα’ was focused on the concept - like say the concept of going for a game of tennis. This might cause the speaker to use the neuter form…food for thought…

Q

I walk.

A

περπατάω

in the attached conjugation table the spelling is ‘περπατώ’ - see note

ChatGPT says:

In everyday Modern Greek, both “περπατώ” and “περπατάω” are used to mean “I walk.” Both forms are grammatically correct and commonly understood by Greek speakers. However, the form “περπατάω” with the verb ending in “-άω” is slightly more prevalent in everyday usage. It’s the more standard and commonly used form in informal speech and writing. That said, both forms are widely understood and acceptable in everyday communication.

Q

I can play tennis.
I play tennis.

A

Μπορώ να παίξω τένις.
Παίζω τένις.

conjugations of 'to play' - παίζω

It is common, in Greek, that when you say that you can do something, or want to do something , or are going to do something.

Such statements are future-oriented which probably explain the presence of a partially future form of the verb - the ‘παίξω’ form, minus the ‘θα’ that precedes the verb in the future form (see the conjugations table, attached).

Q

Yesterday I played tennis with my daughter.

A

Χθες έπαιξα τένις με την κόρη μου.

37
Q

She’s twelve years old and she plays already quite well.

I disagree very strongly with the course equating ‘pretty well’ with ‘αρκετά καλά’.
‘αρκετά καλά’ means ‘quite well’ and ‘rather well’.
‘pretty well’, on the other hand, is very much the same as ‘very well’, and should be translated as ‘πολύ καλά’.
Whereas ‘quite well’ and ‘rather well’ are the correct English versions of ‘αρκετά καλά’.

A

Είναι δώδεκα χρονών και παίζει κιόλας αρκετά καλά.
