Questions & Answers about Όπως κι αν φτάσουμε, περιμένουμε στην προβλήτα.
Here Όπως κι αν is a fixed pattern meaning however or no matter how.
It introduces a clause where the exact way something happens is left open. So the idea is not simple as or like; it is more like:
- however we arrive
- no matter how we get there
As a chunk, it is best learned together.
κι is a shorter, unstressed form of και.
In many contexts, Greek can use either one, but κι is especially common in fixed combinations like κι αν. It sounds natural and smooth in speech.
So:
- κι αν
- και αν
both exist, but κι αν is very common and idiomatic.
