Why does Χρειαζόμαστε look like a passive verb if the meaning is active?

That is a very common question in Greek.

χρειάζομαι is one of those Greek verbs that has middle/passive-type endings but an active meaning. So even though χρειαζόμαστε looks like a passive form, it simply means we need, not we are needed.

This is normal Greek usage, and you just learn χρειάζομαι as the standard verb for need.

Why is it έναν and not ένα?
