Questions & Answers about Αύριο το πρωί θα πάω το παιδί στο σχολείο.
Literally, it is tomorrow the morning.
In natural English, that becomes tomorrow morning.
Both parts are needed because:
- Αύριο = tomorrow
- το πρωί = in the morning / the morning
So together they specify which part of tomorrow: the morning.
Greek often uses this kind of combination:
- αύριο το πρωί = tomorrow morning
- αύριο το βράδυ = tomorrow evening
Because το πρωί is the normal Greek expression for in the morning.
Greek often uses the definite article with parts of the day:
- το πρωί = in the morning
- το μεσημέρι = at noon / in the midday
- το απόγευμα = in the afternoon
- το βράδυ = in the evening / at night
So even though English says tomorrow morning without the, Greek usually says αύριο το πρωί.
θα is the particle that marks the future.
So:
- πάω on its own can mean I go / I am going
- θα πάω = I will go or I will take
In Modern Greek, θα is used before the verb to form future meaning.
