Questions & Answers about Έχει καινούριο τατουάζ.

What form is έχει?

Έχει is the 3rd person singular, present tense of έχω = to have.

So:

• έχω = I have
• έχεις = you have
• έχει = he/she/it has

In this sentence, έχει means has.

Why is there no subject pronoun?

Greek often leaves out subject pronouns when the verb already shows who the subject is. This is very normal.

So Έχει καινούριο τατουάζ. naturally means:

• He has a new tattoo
• She has a new tattoo

If you want to make the subject explicit, you can add:

• Αυτός έχει καινούριο τατουάζ. = He has a new tattoo
• Αυτή έχει καινούριο τατουάζ. = She has a new tattoo

Usually, though, Greek does not need the pronoun unless you want emphasis or contrast.
