Διαβάζω το σενάριο.

Διαβάζω most commonly means I read or I am reading. In Modern Greek, the same present-tense form can often cover both a simple present and a present progressive meaning, depending on context.

So Διαβάζω το σενάριο can mean:

• I read the script
• I am reading the script

Also, διαβάζω can sometimes mean study in other contexts, especially with school subjects or lessons. For example, it can mean I study when talking about doing schoolwork.

The ending -ω is a very common ending for the first person singular in Greek verbs, meaning I.

So:

• διαβάζω = I read / I am reading

You do not need a separate subject pronoun like I unless you want emphasis, because the verb ending already tells you who the subject is.

For example:

• διαβάζω = I read
• διαβάζεις = you read
• διαβάζει = he / she / it reads

Greek often leaves out subject pronouns when they are not needed. This is because the verb ending usually makes the subject clear.

So:

• Διαβάζω already means I read / I am reading

You could say Εγώ διαβάζω, but that usually adds emphasis, like:

• I am reading
• I’m the one reading

In a normal neutral sentence, Greek usually just says Διαβάζω.

Το is the definite article, meaning the.

In this sentence:

• το σενάριο = the script

Greek articles change depending on gender, number, and case, unlike English the, which always stays the same.

Here, το is:

• neuter
• singular
• accusative (because it is the direct object of the verb)

Greek often uses the definite article more frequently than English does. In this sentence, το σενάριο means the script, referring to a specific script.

If you said just Διαβάζω σενάριο, that would sound more like:

• I read script or
• I’m reading a script / script material

That is less natural in many everyday contexts unless you mean something more general or stylistic. Το σενάριο is the normal way to say the script.

Σενάριο is a neuter singular noun. In this sentence, it is the direct object of διαβάζω, so it is in the accusative case.

For many neuter nouns in Greek, the nominative and accusative singular forms are the same. So:

• nominative: το σενάριο
• accusative: το σενάριο

That means the noun itself does not change here, but the grammar is still accusative because it is receiving the action of the verb.

Σενάριο is a borrowed word, related to scenario. In Modern Greek, it commonly means:

• scenario
• script

Very often, in film, television, or theatre contexts, το σενάριο means the script or screenplay.

So even though it may look familiar to an English speaker, you should still learn it as a normal Greek noun with Greek grammar:

• το σενάριο
• του σεναρίου
• τα σενάρια

Yes. The exact English translation depends on context.

Το σενάριο can mean:

• the script
• the screenplay
• sometimes the scenario

If the context is cinema or television, screenplay is often a very natural translation.

Yes, Greek word order is more flexible than English word order.

The basic neutral order here is:

• Verb + object: Διαβάζω το σενάριο

But Greek could also say:

• Το σενάριο διαβάζω

That changed order gives a different emphasis, something like:

• It’s the script that I’m reading or
• The script is what I’m reading

So the original sentence is the most neutral, straightforward version.

A simple approximate pronunciation is:

• Διαβάζω ≈ thya-VA-zo
• το ≈ to
• σενάριο ≈ se-NA-rio

A few helpful points:

• δ in Modern Greek sounds like th in this
• ζ sounds like z
• the stressed syllables are marked by the written accent:
  • διαβάζω
  • σενάριο

So the stress falls on:

• -βά- in διαβάζω
• -νά- in σενάριο

Yes. Διαβάζω is present tense, and Greek present tense can express both:

• a habitual action: I read the script
• an action happening now: I am reading the script

Context tells you which meaning is intended.

If you want to make the ongoing meaning especially clear, Greek can also use other structures or time expressions, but the simple present very often covers both ideas.

Yes, that is a very good habit in Greek.

Instead of learning just σενάριο, it is better to learn:

• το σενάριο

This helps you remember:

• the noun’s gender: neuter
• the typical article it uses
• how it behaves in sentences

Because gender matters a lot in Greek grammar, learning nouns with their article is much more useful than learning the bare noun alone.
