Breakdown of Προς το παρόν δεν βλέπω μεγάλη βελτίωση, αλλά τουλάχιστον δεν έχω πια ναυτία.
Questions & Answers about Προς το παρόν δεν βλέπω μεγάλη βελτίωση, αλλά τουλάχιστον δεν έχω πια ναυτία.
Yes. Προς το παρόν is a very common fixed expression meaning for now, for the time being, or at the moment.
Literally, προς means toward and το παρόν means the present, so the phrase originally means something like toward the present time, but learners should treat it as an idiom.
Examples:
- Προς το παρόν μένω εδώ. = For now I’m staying here.
- Προς το παρόν δεν ξέρουμε. = For the moment we don’t know.
In Greek, just like in English, to see can be used metaphorically to mean to notice, to observe, or to detect.
So δεν βλέπω μεγάλη βελτίωση does not mean you are literally looking at improvement with your eyes. It means:
- I don’t see much improvement
- I’m not noticing much improvement
This is a very natural way to say it in Greek.
Similar examples:
- Δεν βλέπω διαφορά. = I don’t see a difference.
- Βλέπω πρόοδο. = I see progress.
