Questions & Answers about Ελέγχουμε κατά πόσο η κύρια κατοικία είναι επιλέξιμη κατοικία.
Ελέγχουμε is the verb we check / we verify / we examine.
It comes from the verb ελέγχω = to check / to verify / to audit.
The ending -ουμε shows:
- present tense
- 1st person plural
- so the subject is we
So Ελέγχουμε literally means we are checking or we check.
Greek often does not need a separate word for we, because the verb ending already tells you who the subject is.
Because Greek is a pro-drop language, which means subject pronouns are often omitted when the verb ending already makes the subject clear.
So:
- Ελέγχουμε = we check
- Εμείς ελέγχουμε = we check, but with extra emphasis on we
In a neutral sentence, Greek usually leaves out εμείς.
