Questions & Answers about Άσε με να σου μιλήσω ήρεμα, για να μην τσακωθούμε χωρίς λόγο.
What does Άσε με mean literally, and why is it used here?
Literally, Άσε με means leave me or let me.
In this sentence, it means let me:
- άσε = imperative form of αφήνω (leave / let)
- με = me
So Άσε με να... is a very common Greek pattern meaning:
- Let me...
Here it introduces what the speaker wants permission to do:
- Άσε με να σου μιλήσω = Let me talk to you
Why is there a να after Άσε με?
Because Greek commonly uses να before a verb to introduce what someone wants, allows, asks, or intends to happen.
So:
- Άσε με να σου μιλήσω = literally Let me that I speak to you
- natural English: Let me speak to you
After expressions like θέλω να, μπορώ να, άσε με να, Greek uses να + verb.
In this sentence, να μιλήσω is the action the speaker wants to do.
Why is it μιλήσω and not μιλάω or μιλήσω in some other tense?
