Questions & Answers about Μόλις βρήκαμε το μπιμπερό, το μωρό ηρέμησε και δεν ζήτησε πια την πιπίλα του.

What does μόλις mean here?

Here μόλις means as soon as or once.

So Μόλις βρήκαμε το μπιμπερό, ... means As soon as we found the bottle, ...

This is a very common Greek pattern:

μόλις + aorist verb = as soon as ...

Be careful: μόλις can also mean just in other contexts, as in I just arrived. In this sentence, because it introduces a whole time clause before the comma, it means as soon as.

What form is βρήκαμε?

Βρήκαμε is the aorist form of βρίσκω (to find).

It means we found.

More specifically:

• βρ- = the aorist stem
• -ήκαμε = we ending in the aorist

So:

• βρίσκουμε = we find / we are finding
• βρήκαμε = we found

The aorist is used because the action is seen as a single completed event.

Why is there no word for we in βρήκαμε?
