Questions & Answers about Θα περιμένουμε στη στάση μέχρι να έρθει το λεωφορείο.
Θα is the particle that marks the future in Modern Greek, so Θα περιμένουμε corresponds to we will wait / we’ll be waiting.
It’s not a standalone verb; it combines with the verb form that follows. Depending on context, it can express simple future, intention, or prediction.
Greek doesn’t form the future by changing the verb ending into a special future tense. Instead, it uses Θα + verb.
So περιμένουμε is the present-tense form of περιμένω (I wait), and Θα + περιμένουμε gives we will wait.
περιμένουμε is 1st person plural: we wait / we are waiting.
With Θα, it becomes we will wait / we’ll be waiting.
It can mean either in English. Greek often uses the same structure for both:
- Θα περιμένουμε = we will wait (simple future) or we will be waiting (future ongoing), depending on context.
If you needed to strongly emphasize “for a while / continuously,” Greek might use context or other phrasing, but this sentence is already very natural.
