Questions & Answers about Αν δεν σε βολεύει η είσοδος από τη λεωφόρο, υπάρχει άλλη έξοδος πίσω από το κτίριο.
Βολεύει is a very common Greek verb that means something like:
- is convenient
- suits
- works for
- is practical for
So δεν σε βολεύει means it doesn’t suit you / it isn’t convenient for you / it doesn’t work well for you.
The structure is not very literal in English. Greek says something closer to the entrance does not convenience you, but natural English would be if the entrance from the avenue isn’t convenient for you or if that entrance doesn’t work for you.
Σε is the unstressed object pronoun meaning you in the singular.
So in δεν σε βολεύει:
- δεν = not
- σε = you
- βολεύει = suits / is convenient
Literally: it doesn’t suit you.
Greek often uses object pronouns where English uses a phrase like for you. So σε βολεύει can correspond to it suits you or it is convenient for you.
