Questions & Answers about Λοιπόν, πρώτα θέλω να πάω στο σούπερ μάρκετ και μετά να μαγειρέψω.

What does Λοιπόν mean here, and when do Greeks use it?

Λοιπόν is a very common “discourse marker.” It often means well, so, or right then, used to start speaking, shift topics, or introduce a plan/conclusion.
In this sentence it sets up what you’re about to do next: “Well, first I want to…”
It’s casual and extremely frequent in everyday speech.

Why is there a comma after Λοιπόν?

Because Λοιπόν is functioning like an introductory phrase (similar to Well, / So, in English). Greek often uses a comma after such openers, especially in writing. In fast speech, you’ll hear a slight pause—or sometimes none.

Why do we say θέλω να πάω instead of using an infinitive like “to go”?

Modern Greek doesn’t use an English-style infinitive (to go) in these structures. Instead, it uses να + verb (the “subjunctive” structure).
So θέλω να πάω literally is I want that I go, meaning I want to go.

What form is πάω after να—present or something else?
