Questions & Answers about Πόσα πράγματα θέλεις να φέρεις στο πανεπιστήμιο;

Why is it πόσα and not πόσο or πόσοι/πόσες?

Because it has to agree with πράγματα (things), which is neuter plural. The question word declines:

• Singular: πόσος (m), πόση (f), πόσο (n)
• Plural: πόσοι (m), πόσες (f), πόσα (n) So with neuter plural πράγματα, you use neuter plural πόσα.

What gender/number/case is πράγματα, and why?

Πράγματα is neuter plural, accusative. It’s the direct object of the verb inside the subordinate clause (να φέρεις). In Greek, neuter nominative and accusative look the same in both singular and plural; here it’s accusative because it’s being “brought.”

What does θέλεις να mean? Do we always need να after θέλω?

Θέλεις να means “you want to (do something).” After θέλω (I want), Greek normally uses να + subjunctive to express the action wanted: θέλω να πάω (I want to go), θέλεις να φέρεις (you want to bring).

Why να φέρεις and not να φέρνεις?

Aspect. Να φέρεις uses the perfective (a single, complete action—bring once/this time). Να φέρνεις uses the imperfective (habit/repeated/ongoing—bring regularly). Here the question is about one occasion, so perfective να φέρεις fits.
