Questions & Answers about Έκανα μία γρήγορη βουτιά και μετά άφησα τις σαγιονάρες μου δίπλα στην πετσέτα.
Greek often leaves out subject pronouns when they are clear from the verb ending.
- Έκανα = I did / I made
- The ending -α shows first person singular in the past tense, so εγώ (I) is not necessary.
You could say Εγώ έκανα... if you want emphasis, but normally Greek just says Έκανα....
Word for word, it is roughly:
- Έκανα = I did / I made
- μία = a / one
- γρήγορη = quick
- βουτιά = dive / dip
So literally it is something like I did a quick dip/dive.
This is a very natural Greek way to express the idea of I took a quick dip. Greek often uses κάνω (do/make) in expressions where English uses take.
