Questions & Answers about Πάμε μετά τη δουλειά;
Why is there a semicolon at the end instead of a question mark?
In Greek, the question mark is written as ; (it looks like the English semicolon). So Πάμε μετά τη δουλειά; is a question.
What exactly does Πάμε mean here—suggestion or simple question?
Πάμε is the 1st person plural present of πάω/πηγαίνω. In a yes/no question like this, it usually functions as a suggestion or invitation: “Shall we go/Do you want to go after work?” With excited intonation and no question mark, Πάμε! = “Let’s go!”
Why is there no subject pronoun εμείς?
Greek is pro‑drop; the verb ending -με shows “we.” Πάμε already means “we go/shall we go,” so εμείς is optional and used for emphasis: Εμείς πάμε μετά τη δουλειά;
What case is τη δουλειά and why?
It’s accusative singular feminine. The preposition μετά (“after”) takes the accusative in Modern Greek: μετά + τον/την/το.
Why τη and not την before δουλειά?
