Θέλω να μείνω λίγο ακόμα στο σαλόνι.

In Greek, θέλω να + verb is the normal pattern for saying I want to do something.

So:

• θέλω = I want
• να μείνω = to stay / that I stay

A very literal breakdown is something like I want that I stay, but in natural English it is simply I want to stay.

This is one of the most common Greek patterns:

• Θέλω να φύγω = I want to leave
• Θέλω να φάω = I want to eat

μείνω is the form Greek uses here after να to express the action as a single, complete event — in this case, stay a little longer.

The basic verb is μένω = I stay / I live.
But after να, Greek often uses a different form depending on aspect:

• να μείνω = to stay, seen as one whole action
• να μένω = to be staying / to stay regularly / habitually

In this sentence, να μείνω λίγο ακόμα sounds natural because the speaker means one limited stretch of time: stay a bit longer.

No. Even though μείνω is built from the aorist stem, it is not past tense here.

After να, Greek forms often show aspect rather than time.

So:

• να μείνω = to stay / that I stay as a complete event
• έμεινα = I stayed in the past

That means μείνω in this sentence does not mean I stayed. It simply belongs to the να construction.

No. μείνω is one single verb form.

A learner might notice that it starts with the letters με-, but that is not the separate pronoun με meaning me. The whole word is just the verb form μείνω.

So the sentence does not contain the object pronoun me.

λίγο ακόμα means a little longer, a bit more, or a little more depending on context.

Here:

• λίγο = a little / a bit
• ακόμα = still / yet / more / further

Together in this sentence, they express a small extension of time:

• Θέλω να μείνω λίγο ακόμα = I want to stay a little longer

This is a very natural Greek way to say it.

στο is a contraction of σε + το.

So:

• σε = in / at / to
• το = the
• στο = in the / at the / to the

Here it means in the living room:

• στο σαλόνι = in the living room

Because σαλόνι is a neuter noun, the article is το, so σε + το = στο.

Usually, yes. σαλόνι commonly means living room, sitting room, or lounge.

In many everyday situations, στο σαλόνι is best translated as in the living room.

Depending on the house or context, it can carry a slightly more formal or traditional sense than just any room where people sit, but living room is the safest basic meaning.

Greek word order is fairly flexible. The sentence as written is neutral and natural:

• Θέλω να μείνω λίγο ακόμα στο σαλόνι.

But you could also hear:

• Θέλω να μείνω στο σαλόνι λίγο ακόμα.

Both are correct. The difference is mainly emphasis:

• λίγο ακόμα earlier can highlight the extra time
• στο σαλόνι earlier can highlight the place

So the original sentence is a normal, unmarked way to say it.

Yes. ακόμα and ακόμη usually mean the same thing.

So both are possible:

• Θέλω να μείνω λίγο ακόμα στο σαλόνι.
• Θέλω να μείνω λίγο ακόμη στο σαλόνι.

In everyday speech, ακόμα is extremely common.
ακόμη can sound a little more formal or careful, but both are standard.

A simple pronunciation guide:

• Θέλω ≈ THE-lo with th as in thin
• να ≈ na
• μείνω ≈ MEE-no
• λίγο ≈ LEE-gho with a soft voiced sound like a Greek gh
• ακόμα ≈ a-KO-ma
• στο ≈ sto
• σαλόνι ≈ sa-LO-ni

So the whole sentence is roughly:

THE-lo na MEE-no LEE-gho a-KO-ma sto sa-LO-ni

The stress falls on:

• Θέλω
• μείνω
• λίγο
• ακόμα
• σαλόνι
