Questions & Answers about Τον Ιούνιο μένω περισσότερη ώρα στο μπαλκόνι και φοράω μόνο κοντομάνικα ρούχα.
Because Greek often uses the accusative with the article for time expressions like in June / during June.
- Ιούνιος = June as a dictionary form
- τον Ιούνιο = in June / during June
This is very common with months:
- τον Μάιο = in May
- τον Αύγουστο = in August
So Τον Ιούνιο is an adverbial time phrase, not the subject of the sentence.
Not in this sentence. Μένω can mean several things, including:
- live
- stay
- remain
Here, with περισσότερη ώρα στο μπαλκόνι, it means I stay or I spend time on the balcony. So the idea is not I live on the balcony, but I stay there longer / spend more time there.
Because Greek usually drops subject pronouns when they are not needed. The verb ending already shows the person:
- μένω = I stay / I live
- φοράω = I wear
So εγώ is unnecessary unless you want emphasis or contrast:
- Εγώ μένω... = I stay...
- maybe contrasting with someone else
This is very normal in Greek.
