Questions & Answers about Ελέγχουμε κατά πόσο η ενεργειακή αναβάθμιση βελτιώνει την ενεργειακή κατηγορία.
What does κατά πόσο mean in this sentence?
κατά πόσο is a very common Greek expression meaning whether, to what extent, or how far.
In this sentence, it introduces an indirect question:
- Ελέγχουμε κατά πόσο... = We check whether... / We examine to what extent...
So it is not a word-for-word phrase you should try to translate literally every time. It works as a fixed expression.
Why does the sentence start with Ελέγχουμε? What form is that?
Ελέγχουμε is the 1st person plural present tense of ελέγχω = to check / to inspect / to examine.
So literally it means:
- we check
- we examine
- we verify
Greek often uses we in formal, academic, technical, or report-style language, just like English sometimes does:
- We check whether...
- We examine whether...
So this does not necessarily mean a specific group of people standing there; it can be a neutral, formal style.
