Questions & Answers about Κοιτάω την οθόνη του υπολογιστή όλη μέρα στη δουλειά.

Why is there no word for “I” in the Greek sentence?

Greek usually drops subject pronouns (like I, you, he) because the verb ending already shows who the subject is.

• κοιτάω = I look / I am looking
  
  • stem: κοιτά-
  • ending: -ω → 1st person singular (I)

You can say Εγώ κοιτάω την οθόνη…, but adding εγώ usually emphasizes I (e.g., I look at the screen, not someone else).

What’s the difference between κοιτάω and βλέπω?

Both can translate as to look or to see, but they’re used differently:

• κοιτάω = I look at, I’m watching
  Focus on the action of looking / directing your eyes.

  • κοιτάω την οθόνη = I look at / am looking at the screen.

• βλέπω = I see, sometimes I watch
  Focus on perception (what you see).

  • βλέπω την οθόνη = I see the screen (it’s visible to me).

In this sentence, κοιτάω την οθόνη is more natural because you’re actively looking at the screen all day.
