Questions & Answers about Επίσης, έχει την ίδια ιδέα με εσένα.
What does the word Επίσης mean, and is the comma after it necessary?
Επίσης means "also / in addition." The comma after an introductory Επίσης is optional style: both Επίσης, έχει… and Επίσης έχει… are fine.
Can I put Επίσης somewhere else in the sentence?
Yes. Common options:
- Έχει επίσης την ίδια ιδέα με εσένα. (neutral)
- Αυτός/Αυτή επίσης έχει την ίδια ιδέα με εσένα. (after the expressed subject)
- Έχει την ίδια ιδέα με εσένα επίσης. (end position; sounds like an add-on “too”)
All are grammatical; initial position is the most typical.
Who is the subject of έχει here?
Greek is a "null-subject" language, so the subject pronoun is usually omitted. Έχει is 3rd person singular, so it could mean "he/she/it has." If you need to make it explicit, add a subject: Αυτός/Αυτή έχει… or a name.
Why use έχει (“has”) and not είναι (“is”)? Could I say “agrees with you”?
Greek naturally says έχει την ίδια ιδέα ("has the same idea"), not είναι την ίδια ιδέα. To express agreement, you can also say:
- Συμφωνεί μαζί σου. (He/She agrees with you.)
- Έχει την ίδια άποψη/γνώμη με εσένα. (He/She has the same opinion as you.)
