Questions & Answers about Δεν θέλω άλλο καβγά σήμερα.

In the sentence Δεν θέλω άλλο καβγά σήμερα, what does δεν mean and why is it placed before θέλω?

Δεν is the basic word for not / don’t / doesn’t when you negate a verb in Greek.

• It always comes right before the verb it negates:
  
  • Δεν θέλω = I do not want
  • Δεν ξέρω = I don’t know
  • Δεν καταλαβαίνω = I don’t understand

In careful pronunciation it’s δεν [ðen], but in everyday speech, before a consonant, many people say it more like δε [ðe], often without clearly hearing the final -ν. It’s still written as δεν in standard spelling.

So Δεν θέλω literally = I don’t want.
