Questions & Answers about Σήμερα πίνω καφέ με μια συμφοιτήτριά μου στο καφέ δίπλα στο πανεπιστήμιο.
What tense is πίνω here, and does it mean I’m drinking now or later today?
Πίνω is the present tense in Greek.
Greek present tense usually covers both:
- English present simple: I drink coffee.
- English present continuous: I am drinking coffee.
In Σήμερα πίνω καφέ…, context decides:
- It can mean I am drinking coffee today (now / sometime today).
- It can also be used for a planned near‑future action today, similar to English Today I’m meeting a friend.
If you want to make the future meaning explicit, you can use:
- Αργότερα σήμερα θα πιω καφέ… – Later today I will drink coffee…
Why is there no article before the first καφέ? Could I say πίνω έναν καφέ?
