Questions & Answers about Θα φάμε φαγητό στο σπίτι ή στο γραφείο;
Why does the question end with a semicolon?
In Greek, the semicolon (;) is the question mark. The real “semicolon” in Greek is a raised dot (·), called the ano teleia.
What does θα do here?
Θα is the future particle. It combines with the verb to express future time or planned/expected actions. It doesn’t change for person or number.
Why is it φάμε and not τρώμε?
It’s an aspect choice:
- Θα φάμε (perfective) = we will eat (one meal, completion-focused).
- Θα τρώμε (imperfective) = we will be eating / we’ll eat habitually. Here the speaker is talking about a specific meal, so θα φάμε fits.
Do I need the word φαγητό after φάμε?
No. Θα φάμε alone already means “we’ll eat/have a meal.” Θα φάμε φαγητό is colloquial and not wrong; it can sound like “we’ll eat (some) food” or emphasize “food (not something else, like drinks).”
If I keep φαγητό, should it have an article?
- Bare φαγητό = “(some) food” in general (mass noun).
- το φαγητό = “the food” (specific/known food). So both are possible, but they mean different things.
