Verbs[]

the verbs are conjugated, but always regularly, you just have to add the proper ending to the root of the verb: Simple Present

  • action in the present taking place once, never or several times
  • facts
  • actions taking place one after another
  • action set by a timetable or schedule

-ω 1st person sing. -ας 2nd person sing. -ει 3rd person sing. -εμη 1st person pl. -ενη 2nd person pl. -ειν 3rd person pl.

  • the endings have to be attached to the verb root (σταίς -> root = στ-) 

ex. σταίς (to be) στω - I am στας - you are στει - he/she/it is στέμη - we are στένη - you are (pl.) στειν - they are Sentence examples: πράγης (to speak) --> root = πραγ-

Πράγω - I speak. 

Υχ νει πράγει - He doesn't speak.

Πράγεμη? - Do we speak? Present Progressive

  • action taking place in the moment of speaking
  • action taking place only for a limited period of time
  • action arranged for the future.

*the present particle is made by taking the 'ς' out of the end of the verb in its infinitive. ex. πράγης --> present particle = πράγη

Sentence examples: 

Στω να πράγη - I am speaking.

Νει στένη να πράγη - you(pl.) are not talking

*the past particle is made by adding 'α' to the root of the verb. ex. πράγης --> past particle = πράγα
