Μπορείτε να μου πείτε αν το δέμα θα φτάσει έγκαιρα στον παραλήπτη;

In Greek, ; is the normal question mark. So Μπορείτε να μου πείτε αν το δέμα θα φτάσει έγκαιρα στον παραλήπτη; is clearly a question.

A Greek semicolon is actually written as · (a raised dot), not as ;.

It can be either:

• plural: you all can
• formal/polite singular: you can when speaking respectfully to one person

So this sentence could mean either:

• speaking politely to one person, or
• speaking to several people

The informal singular would be Μπορείς.

Because Greek normally uses μπορώ + να + verb for can + verb.

So:

• Μπορείτε να πείτε = You can tell / Can you tell

Greek does not use an infinitive the way English does. English says to tell; Greek uses να plus a verb form instead.

Because short object pronouns like μου, σου, του, της, μας usually go before the verb when the verb is introduced by words like:

• να
• θα
• δεν

So:

• να μου πείτε = correct, normal order

Compare this with the imperative, where the pronoun usually comes after:

• Πείτε μου = Tell me

So the position of μου depends on the type of verb form.

μου means to me.

In this sentence:

• Μπορείτε να μου πείτε... = Can you tell me...

It is an indirect object pronoun. Greek often uses these short pronoun forms where English uses me, to me, him, to her, etc., depending on the verb.

πείτε is the 2nd person plural form used after να of the verb λέω (I say / I tell).

This verb is irregular, so learners usually memorize the relevant forms separately:

• να πω
• να πεις
• να πει
• να πούμε
• να πείτε
• να πουν(ε)

Here it means tell in the sense of one complete action: tell me.

It happens to look the same as the plural imperative πείτε.

Here αν means whether / if in an indirect yes-no question.

So:

• αν το δέμα θα φτάσει... = whether the package will arrive...

This is not a conditional if like:

• If it rains, we’ll stay home

Greek uses the same word, but the meaning depends on the context.

θα marks the future, and φτάσει is the verb form meaning arrive in the 3rd person singular.

So:

• θα φτάσει = it will arrive

The subject is το δέμα (the package), which is why the verb is singular.

Because φτάσει presents the arrival as one complete future event.

• θα φτάσει = it will arrive
• φτάνει = it arrives / is arriving

For a single delivery event, θα φτάσει is the natural choice.

Very roughly:

• φτάσει = focus on the event being completed
• φτάνει = focus on the process, a general fact, or repeated action

έγκαιρα means on time, in time, without delay, or by the expected deadline.

In this sentence, it means the parcel arrives soon enough / by the required time for the recipient.

It is a fairly neutral and slightly formal word, especially common in practical contexts like shipping, services, and schedules.

στον is a contraction of σε + τον.

So:

• σε τον παραλήπτη → στον παραλήπτη

This means to the recipient.

Also, παραλήπτης is a masculine noun:

• ο παραλήπτης = the recipient (nominative)
• τον παραλήπτη = the recipient (accusative)

After σε, Greek uses the accusative form, so στον παραλήπτη is exactly what you would expect.

δέμα means package or parcel.

It is a neuter noun, so it takes the article το:

• το δέμα = the package / the parcel

In this sentence, το δέμα is the subject of θα φτάσει.

Yes, to a degree. Greek word order is more flexible than English word order.

The original sentence is natural and neutral:

• Μπορείτε να μου πείτε αν το δέμα θα φτάσει έγκαιρα στον παραλήπτη;

You could also hear something like:

• Μπορείτε να μου πείτε αν θα φτάσει το δέμα έγκαιρα στον παραλήπτη;

That still means basically the same thing. The difference is mostly one of emphasis or rhythm, not core meaning.
