Questions & Answers about Ελέγχουμε την προθεσμία ολοκλήρωσης.

Why does Ελέγχουμε mean we?

Because Ελέγχουμε is the 1st person plural form of the verb ελέγχω (to check / to inspect / to control, depending on context).

The ending -ουμε tells you the subject is we, so Greek does not need a separate word for we unless you want extra emphasis.

• Ελέγχουμε = we check / we are checking
• Εμείς ελέγχουμε = we check (with emphasis on we)

Does Ελέγχουμε mean we check or we are checking?

It can mean either one.

In Modern Greek, the present tense often covers both:

• we check
• we are checking

So Ελέγχουμε την προθεσμία ολοκλήρωσης could be understood as:

• We check the completion deadline
• We are checking the completion deadline

The exact meaning depends on context.

Why is it την προθεσμία and not η προθεσμία?
