Questions & Answers about Είμαι κουρασμένος, αλλά δουλεύω ακόμα.
Why is it κουρασμένος and not κουρασμένη in this sentence?
Adjectives agree with the speaker’s gender and number.
- Male speaker: Είμαι κουρασμένος
- Female speaker: Είμαι κουρασμένη
- Plurals: Είμαστε κουρασμένοι (men/mixed), Είμαστε κουρασμένες (women)

What exactly does ακόμα mean here, and is ακόμη different?
ακόμα means still (and in negatives it can mean yet). ακόμη is the same word; it’s a bit more formal in tone. In everyday speech they’re interchangeable.
Where should I place ακόμα in the sentence?
Put ακόμα next to what it modifies:
- Still working: Δουλεύω ακόμα or Ακόμα δουλεύω (the second emphasizes “still” a bit more).
- Still tired: Είμαι ακόμα κουρασμένος/η.
Is the comma before αλλά required?
Yes. Standard Greek uses a comma before αλλά when it links two independent clauses: Είμαι κουρασμένος, αλλά δουλεύω ακόμα.
