Questions & Answers about Δεν ξέρω από ποιο μανάβικο να πάρω φρούτα χωρίς να ξοδέψω πολλά λεφτά.
Δεν ξέρω means I don’t know.
- δεν = not
- ξέρω = I know
So the sentence begins with I don’t know...
A useful point for learners: in Modern Greek, δεν is the normal negation used with verbs in statements like this.
από ποιο μανάβiko literally means from which greengrocer’s / from which fruit-and-vegetable shop.
Breaking it down:
- από = from
- ποιο = which
- μανάβικο = greengrocer’s shop / produce store
Greek often uses από with shops when the idea is buying something from a place.
So:
- Από ποιο μανάβικο να πάρω φρούτα; = Which greengrocer’s should I buy fruit from?
In English, we often say at which shop or just which shop, but Greek naturally uses από here.
