Γύρισα σπίτι μουσκεμένος από τη βροχή.

Γύρισα is the 1st person singular aorist of γυρίζω.

Here it means I came back / I returned.
The aorist is the normal past tense for a single completed event, so the sentence presents the return home as one whole action.

So:

• γυρίζω = I return / I turn / I come back
• γύρισα = I returned / I came back

In everyday Greek, γυρίζω is very common for come back / go back / return.

Greek often drops subject pronouns when they are not needed.

The verb ending in Γύρισα already tells you the subject is I:

• -α here marks 1st person singular

So Greek does not need εγώ unless the speaker wants emphasis or contrast.

Compare:

• Γύρισα σπίτι. = I came home.
• Εγώ γύρισα σπίτι. = I came home (with extra emphasis, maybe contrasting with someone else)

Because σπίτι on its own can mean home in a very natural, idiomatic way after verbs of motion.

So:

• γύρισα σπίτι = I came home
• πάω σπίτι = I’m going home

This is similar to English, where we say go home, not usually go to home.

By contrast:

• γύρισα στο σπίτι is also possible, but it sounds more like I returned to the house/home
• γύρισα σπίτι is the more idiomatic everyday choice when you simply mean came home

Μουσκεμένος is a participle used as an adjective.

It means soaked, drenched.

In this sentence, it describes the speaker’s condition when they got home:

• Γύρισα σπίτι μουσκεμένος = I came home soaked

Greek uses forms like this very naturally after verbs, especially to describe the subject’s state.

You can think of it as similar to:

• ήρθε κουρασμένος = he came tired
• γύρισε θυμωμένη = she came back angry

Good question: μουσκεμένος does not describe σπίτι.

It describes the implied subject: the person who returned.

So the structure is:

• Γύρισα = I returned
• σπίτι = home
• μουσκεμένος = soaked (describing me)

Because the speaker is understood as masculine singular, the form is μουσκεμένος.

If the speaker were female, it would be:

• Γύρισα σπίτι μουσκεμένη από τη βροχή.

If it described σπίτι, it would indeed need a neuter form such as μουσκεμένο — but that is not what is happening here.

Here από τη βροχή means from the rain or because of the rain.

It gives the cause of being soaked:

• μουσκεμένος από τη βροχή = soaked from the rain

The preposition από often means:

• from
• by
• because of
• due to

The exact English translation depends on context. In this sentence, from the rain is the most natural match.

Τη is the shorter form of την.

In modern Greek, the final -ν of την is often dropped before many consonants in normal speech and writing:

• την βροχή
• τη βροχή

Both are understandable, but τη βροχή is very common and natural.

So:

• από τη βροχή = from the rain

This is just a normal article form, not a different word.

Yes, but the nuance changes.

• βρεγμένος = wet
• μουσκεμένος = soaked / drenched

So μουσκεμένος is stronger. It suggests the speaker got very wet.

Compare:

• Γύρισα σπίτι βρεγμένος. = I came home wet.
• Γύρισα σπίτι μουσκεμένος. = I came home soaked.

So the original sentence sounds more vivid and stronger.

They are very close in meaning, but not identical in tone.

• Γύρισα σπίτι sounds very natural, everyday, conversational
• Επέστρεψα σπίτι is also correct, but often sounds a bit more formal or neutral

In ordinary speech, Greek speakers very often use γυρίζω / γυρνάω for come back / return.

So for this sentence, Γύρισα σπίτι μουσκεμένος από τη βροχή sounds very natural and idiomatic.

Yes. Greek word order is fairly flexible.

The original order is a neutral, natural one:

• Γύρισα σπίτι μουσκεμένος από τη βροχή.

But other orders are possible if you want emphasis, for example:

• Μουσκεμένος από τη βροχή γύρισα σπίτι.
  = emphasis on soaked from the rain

• Σπίτι γύρισα μουσκεμένος από τη βροχή.
  = possible, but more marked

So the original sentence is a straightforward, natural way to say it, but Greek can move elements around more freely than English.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

GHEE-ri-sa SPEE-ti moo-ske-ME-nos a-PO ti vro-KHEE

A few useful points:

• Γ before ύ here sounds like a soft gh/y sound, not a hard English g
• σπίτι has the stress on the first syllable: SPÍ-ti
• μουσκεμένος has the stress on -μέ-: moo-ske-MÉ-nos
• βροχή has the stress on the last syllable: vro-HÍ

The written accent marks in Greek are important because they show the stressed syllable.
