Questions & Answers about Αύριο θα ψωνίσουμε ένα δώρο για τη φίλη μου.

What does the word θα do here? Is it like “will”?

Yes. θα is the future particle. It combines with the subjunctive form of the verb to express future time.

• A single, completed future event: θα ψωνίσουμε “we will shop/buy (once).”
• Ongoing or repeated future: θα ψωνίζουμε “we will be shopping / we will shop (regularly).”

Why is it ψωνίσουμε and not ψωνίζουμε?

Aspect. Greek distinguishes:

• Imperfective (ongoing/habitual): ψωνίζουμε.
• Perfective (single, bounded): (θα) ψωνίσουμε.

Here the plan is a single shopping trip, so the perfective is natural.

What exact form is ψωνίσουμε? It doesn’t look like the dictionary form ψωνίζω.

It’s 1st person plural, perfective subjunctive. Mini-map:

• Dictionary (present, imperfective): ψωνίζω
• Aorist (past, perfective): ψώνισα
• Perfective subjunctive (used after να/θα): 1sg ψωνίσω, 1pl ψωνίσουμε So θα ψωνίσουμε = “we will shop/buy (once).”
