Questions & Answers about Την Πρωτοχρονιά τρώμε πρωινό μαζί στο σπίτι.

Why is it Την Πρωτοχρονιά and not η Πρωτοχρονιά?

Because Greek often uses the accusative for expressions of time meaning when something happens.

• η Πρωτοχρονιά = New Year’s Day / New Year as the basic dictionary form
• την Πρωτοχρονιά = on New Year’s Day

So the article changes from η to την because the phrase is functioning like a time expression.

What exactly does Πρωτοχρονιά mean here?

Here, Πρωτοχρονιά means New Year’s Day or the New Year holiday, not the whole new year as a 12-month period.

So Την Πρωτοχρονιά is best understood as On New Year’s Day.

Why is there no separate word for we?

Greek often leaves out subject pronouns because the verb ending already tells you who the subject is.

• τρώμε = we eat

So εμείς is not necessary. You would only add εμείς for emphasis or contrast:

• Εμείς τρώμε πρωινό μαζί στο σπίτι. = We eat breakfast together at home.
