Questions & Answers about Μόλις γυρίζω σπίτι, τακτοποιώ τα ψώνια στο ψυγείο.

What does μόλις mean here?

Here μόλις means as soon as or once.

So:

• Μόλις γυρίζω σπίτι = As soon as I get home
• not I just get home

That is important because μόλις also has another very common meaning: just / only just.

For example:

• Μόλις έφτασα. = I just arrived.

So the exact meaning of μόλις depends on the structure and context.

What is the difference between μόλις and όταν?

Both can refer to time, but they are not exactly the same.

• μόλις = as soon as, with a sense of immediacy
• όταν = when / whenever, more general

So in your sentence:

• Μόλις γυρίζω σπίτι, τακτοποιώ τα ψώνια στο ψυγείο. = As soon as I get home, I put the groceries away in the fridge.

If you used όταν, it would sound more like:

• Όταν γυρίζω σπίτι, τακτοποιώ τα ψώνια στο ψυγείο. = When(ever) I get home, I put the groceries away in the fridge.

That is still possible, but μόλις emphasizes that the second action happens immediately after the first.

Why are γυρίζω and τακτοποιώ in the present tense?
