Την Πρωτοχρονιά τρώμε μαζί με τους γονείς μου και μετά βλέπουμε ταινία στο σπίτι.

Greek often uses the accusative for expressions of time, especially when meaning on a certain day or date.

So:

• Την Πρωτοχρονιά = on New Year’s Day / at New Year
• την is the feminine singular accusative article
• Πρωτοχρονιά is a feminine noun

This is similar to other time expressions in Greek, such as:

• την Κυριακή = on Sunday
• την άλλη εβδομάδα = next week

So the article is not random here; it is part of a common time-expression pattern.

Usually Πρωτοχρονιά means New Year’s Day or the New Year holiday in general, depending on context.

If you specifically want New Year’s Eve, Greek commonly says:

• Παραμονή Πρωτοχρονιάς

So in this sentence, Την Πρωτοχρονιά is most naturally understood as On New Year’s Day.

In Greek, the present tense is often used for:

• habitual actions
• traditions
• things that usually happen

So this sentence probably means something like:

• On New Year’s Day, we eat together with my parents and then watch a movie at home.

That sounds like a custom or a usual plan, not necessarily something happening right now.

Greek uses the present this way much like English does in sentences such as:

• At Christmas we visit my grandparents.
• On Sundays we stay home.

No, nothing is missing. Τρώμε simply means we eat or we have a meal.

In Greek, you do not always need to say what you are eating if it is obvious from context. So:

• τρώμε can mean we eat
• but in natural English here it may sound more like we have a meal or we sit down to eat

The exact meal is not specified. It could be lunch, dinner, or just a festive meal.

Yes, this is a very common point of confusion.

• μαζί = together
• με = with

But μαζί με is a very natural Greek expression meaning:

• together with
• along with

So:

• τρώμε μαζί με τους γονείς μου = we eat together with my parents

You can sometimes use μαζί by itself if the other person or group is already understood, but μαζί με + noun/pronoun is a standard, very common structure.

Because after με and in this structure, Greek uses the accusative case.

So:

• οι γονείς μου = my parents as a subject
• τους γονείς μου = my parents as an object / after a preposition like με

Here, τους γονείς μου follows με, so it must be in the accusative.

Also note:

• γονείς means parents
• the dictionary form is γονείς in the plural, since people usually talk about both parents together

In Greek, short possessive forms like μου, σου, του, της, μας, σας, τους usually come after the noun.

So:

• οι γονείς μου = my parents
• το σπίτι μας = our house
• η φίλη της = her friend

This is the normal Greek pattern. English speakers often expect the equivalent of my parents, but Greek usually says the noun first and the possessive word after it.

Greek does have an indefinite article:

• ένας / μία / ένα = a / an

But Greek often omits it where English would use a, especially in common everyday expressions.

So:

• βλέπουμε ταινία = we watch a movie
• βλέπουμε μια ταινία = we watch a movie / one movie

Both are possible, but without μια, the sentence sounds a bit more general and natural in this kind of context.

Greek often leaves the indefinite article out when the exact item is not important.

στο is a contraction of:

• σε + το = στο

So literally:

• στο σπίτι = in the house or at the house

But very often in natural Greek, στο σπίτι simply means:

• at home
• at the house

So in this sentence, βλέπουμε ταινία στο σπίτι means we watch a movie at home.

Not completely. Greek word order is more flexible than English word order, because Greek endings often make the grammatical roles clearer.

This sentence uses a very natural, neutral order:

• Την Πρωτοχρονιά = time
• τρώμε μαζί με τους γονείς μου = first action
• και μετά βλέπουμε ταινία στο σπίτι = second action

You could move some parts around for emphasis, but the given order sounds normal and smooth.

For example, μετά could appear in slightly different positions depending on emphasis, but here και μετά naturally means and then / afterwards.
