Questions & Answers about Μάλιστα, θα σας στείλω μήνυμα αμέσως.
What does Μάλιστα mean here, and when do Greeks use it?
Μάλιστα is a very common response particle. Depending on context/intonation it can mean things like Yes, Right, Certainly, Okay, or Indeed.
In this sentence it works like a polite confirmation: All right / Certainly, I’ll message you right away.
You’ll often hear it in service situations or polite replies (similar to certainly).
Why is there a comma after Μάλιστα?
The comma separates Μάλιστα as an introductory word (a stand‑alone confirmation) from the main clause. It’s like writing Okay, I’ll… in English.
What is θα doing in the sentence?
θα is the particle that forms the future (and some modal meanings) in Modern Greek.
Structure: θα + verb → usually will / shall (future).
So θα στείλω = I will send.
Why is the verb στείλω and not a form like στέλνω?
Greek often uses different stems for imperfective vs perfective (aorist) aspect.
- στέλνω = I send / I am sending (imperfective, ongoing/habitual)
- στείλω = I will send (perfective, one complete sending)
In a promise like “I’ll send you a message (once, right away),” στείλω is the natural choice.
