Questions & Answers about Τη στιγμή που μιλάει ο υποβολέας, ο ηθοποιός θυμάται την ατάκα.
Because τη στιγμή (που) is a fixed time expression meaning at the moment (when).
- η στιγμή = the moment as a subject or dictionary form
- τη στιγμή = accusative, used here adverbially to express time
Greek often uses the accusative in expressions of time, especially in phrases like:
- την ώρα που = while / at the time when
- τη στιγμή που = the moment when
So here τη στιγμή που μιλάει... means at the moment when ... is speaking.
Here που means when, not who or that.
In this sentence, it introduces a time clause:
- Τη στιγμή που μιλάει ο υποβολέας = At the moment when the prompter is speaking
Greek που is very common and can have several functions. After expressions like τη στιγμή, την ώρα, τη μέρα, it often works like when.
