Why is there no Greek word for we in the sentence?

Greek often leaves out subject pronouns when they are not needed. The verb ending already shows who the subject is.

Here, the ending -με in Μετράμε tells you the subject is we.

So:

• Μετράμε = we measure / we are measuring
• Εμείς μετράμε = we measure with extra emphasis on we

This is very common in Greek.
