Questions & Answers about Απόψε φιλοξενούμε δύο φίλες από το πανεπιστήμιο, γιατί μας αρέσει η καλή φιλοξενία.
Yes, Απόψε is one word. It is an adverb meaning tonight / this evening.
It is a very common, compact way to talk about this evening specifically, and it is often more natural than a longer expression like σήμερα το βράδυ.
In Greek, the present tense is often used for a planned or arranged near-future action, especially when there is a time word like Απόψε.
So Απόψε φιλοξενούμε... means something like:
- Tonight we’re hosting...
- We’re having ... over tonight
This is similar to English when we say Tonight we’re having friends over. Greek could also use a future form such as θα φιλοξενήσουμε, but the present here sounds natural and immediate.
φιλοξενούμε is:
- 1st person plural
- present tense
- from the verb φιλοξενώ = to host
So the form means we host / we are hosting.
Because Greek verb endings already show the subject, there is no need to add a separate word for we unless you want extra emphasis.
