Δουλεύουμε στη φάρμα.

Δουλεύουμε means we work or we are working, depending on context.

Greek present tense often covers both:

• we work in general
• we are working right now

So Δουλεύουμε στη φάρμα can mean either:

• We work at the farm
• We are working on the farm

The exact meaning depends on the situation.

In Greek, the verb ending often already shows who is doing the action.

Here, -ουμε in δουλεύουμε tells you the subject is we. Because of that, Greek usually does not need to say εμείς for we.

So:

• Δουλεύουμε στη φάρμα = We work on the farm
• Εμείς δουλεύουμε στη φάρμα = We work on the farm too, but with extra emphasis on we

You would add εμείς only if you want contrast or emphasis, for example:

• Εμείς δουλεύουμε στη φάρμα, όχι στο γραφείο.
  • We work on the farm, not in the office.

Δουλεύουμε is:

• present tense
• first person plural
• from the verb δουλεύω = I work

A quick pattern:

• δουλεύω = I work
• δουλεύεις = you work
• δουλεύει = he/she/it works
• δουλεύουμε = we work
• δουλεύετε = you all / you formal work
• δουλεύουν or δουλεύουνε = they work

So the -ουμε ending is the key part that tells you it means we.

Στη is a very common contraction in Greek.

It comes from:

• σε = to / in / at / on
• τη = the (feminine singular accusative article)

Together:

• σε τη → στη

So:

• στη φάρμα = at the farm / on the farm

This contraction is normal and preferred in everyday Greek.

Similar contractions:

• στο = σε το
• στον = σε τον
• στην = σε την
• στους = σε τους
• στις = σε τις

Because Greek often uses the definite article where English may or may not use the.

So στη φάρμα literally means at/on the farm.

You can say σε φάρμα in some contexts, but it usually sounds more like on a farm or in a farm setting, less specific.

Compare:

• Δουλεύουμε στη φάρμα. = We work on the farm. / at the farm.
• Δουλεύουμε σε μια φάρμα. = We work on a farm.

So the version with στη usually refers to a specific farm known from context.

After σε, Greek normally uses the accusative case.

The noun φάρμα is a feminine noun, and in the singular its nominative and accusative forms happen to look the same:

• nominative: η φάρμα
• accusative: τη φάρμα

So yes, it is in the correct case after the preposition, but you do not see a spelling change in the noun itself. The article shows the case more clearly:

• η → nominative
• τη → accusative

That is why στη φάρμα is correct.

It can mean either, depending on context.

Greek σε is flexible and can correspond to several English prepositions, including:

• in
• at
• to
• sometimes on

With φάρμα, natural English translations are usually:

• at the farm
• on the farm

English chooses between at and on based on idiom, not because Greek is making a strong distinction here.

Yes. Greek word order is more flexible than English, because the verb endings and articles carry a lot of grammatical information.

The neutral order here is:

• Δουλεύουμε στη φάρμα.

But you could also say:

• Στη φάρμα δουλεύουμε.

That version puts more focus on στη φάρμα, roughly like:

• It’s on the farm that we work
• or We work on the farm with emphasis on the location

So word order changes can affect emphasis, even when the basic meaning stays the same.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

thoo-LEV-ou-me sti FAR-ma

More closely:

• Δ here sounds like the th in this
• ου sounds like oo
• εύ here sounds roughly like ev
• στη sounds like stee
• φ sounds like f

The stress falls on:

• -λεύ- in δουλεύουμε
• φάρ- in φάρμα

So:

• δουΛΕυμε
• ΦΑΡμα

It can be used broadly.

Δουλεύω can mean:

• to work as a job
• to be working
• sometimes to function / operate for machines or systems, depending on context

Examples:

• Δουλεύω σε τράπεζα. = I work at a bank.
• Δουλεύω τώρα. = I’m working now.
• Το μηχάνημα δεν δουλεύει. = The machine isn’t working.

In Δουλεύουμε στη φάρμα, it most naturally means actual work done on a farm.

Yes, but it sounds more formal.

You could say:

• Εργαζόμαστε στη φάρμα.

This also means We work on/at the farm.

The difference is mainly style:

• δουλεύουμε = more common, everyday, conversational
• εργαζόμαστε = more formal or official

In normal speech, δουλεύουμε is the more natural choice for most situations.

The dictionary forms are:

• δουλεύουμε → δουλεύω = to work
• στη → contraction of σε
  • τη
• φάρμα → φάρμα = farm

So if you wanted to look up each part, those are the forms you would search for.
