Questions & Answers about Συζητάμε την επίλυση προβλημάτων και τη μαθησιακή δυσκολία.
What does Συζητάμε mean exactly, and what tense is it?
Συζητάμε is the 1st person plural present tense form of συζητάω / συζητώ, so it means we discuss or we are discussing.
In Greek, the present tense can cover both:
- we discuss
- we are discussing
The exact English translation depends on context.
Also, συζητάμε is a very common everyday form. You may also see the more formal/literary συζητούμε.
Why is there no separate word for we?
Greek often omits subject pronouns when they are not needed. The verb ending already shows who the subject is.
Here, the ending -άμε in συζητάμε tells you the subject is we.
So:
- Συζητάμε = We discuss / We are discussing
You could say Εμείς συζητάμε, but that would usually add emphasis, like:
- We are the ones discussing it.
