Questions & Answers about Δεν μένω πια πίσω από το πάρκο.

What does the word πια mean here?

πια is an adverb meaning “anymore / any longer” in negative contexts, and it signals a change of state (it was true before, but not now). It can also mean “by now” or “enough already” in other contexts, but here it means “no longer/anymore.”

Where can πια go in the sentence? Is the position fixed?

It most commonly follows the verb: Δεν μένω πια…
You can also front it for emphasis: Πια δεν μένω… (puts focus on the “no longer”).
Avoid placing it at the very end of the clause. The neutral order here is exactly what you see: Δεν μένω πια πίσω από…

Why is it δεν and not μην?

Greek uses:

• δεν for ordinary (indicative) statements and questions: Δεν μένω…
• μην with the subjunctive/imperatives or after να, ας, etc.: να μην μείνω, μην μείνεις.
  Since this is a plain statement, δεν is required.

Can the final -ν of δεν drop? Is δε μένω okay?
