Questions & Answers about Κάθε μέρα περπατάω στο πάρκο.

Why is there no separate word for “I” in this sentence?

Greek usually drops subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows the person.

• περπατάω ends in -άω, which here marks 1st person singular (I).
• So “I” is understood from the verb, and you don’t need εγώ.

You only add εγώ (I) for emphasis or contrast:

• Εγώ περπατάω στο πάρκο. = I (as opposed to someone else) walk in the park.

What tense is περπατάω? Is it like “I walk” or “I am walking”?

Περπατάω is in the present tense, active voice, indicative mood.

Modern Greek present covers both:

• habitual/general: I walk (every day)
• progressive/right now: I am walking (now)

So the same form περπατάω can mean both, and context (e.g. κάθε μέρα vs τώρα) tells you which is meant.

Can I change the word order and say «Περπατάω στο πάρκο κάθε μέρα» instead?
