Questions & Answers about Πας δουλειά ή σπίτι;

What exactly is the verb form Πας?

It’s the 2nd person singular present of the verb πάω/πηγαίνω (to go): “you go/you’re going.” In colloquial speech it’s the short form of πάω. A more neutral/explicit alternative is Πηγαίνεις.

Why is there no article before δουλειά and σπίτι?

With motion verbs like πάω, Greek often uses bare nouns to indicate destination, especially for places like work, home, school, church, etc. So πάω δουλειά = “I’m going to work,” πάω σπίτι = “I’m going home,” without an article.

Can I also say στη δουλειά or στο σπίτι?

Yes:

• Πας στη δουλειά; (to work/the workplace)
• Πας στο σπίτι; (to the house/home) Both are common. Bare nouns feel a bit more like “to work / home” as destinations; with στο/στη you’re explicitly saying “to the (specific) place.”

What cases are δουλειά and σπίτι in here?

Accusative singular, used as a destination (“accusative of goal”). δουλειά is feminine; σπίτι is neuter (neuter nominative = accusative in form).

Is it okay to drop the verb and just say ?
