Questions & Answers about Μόλις δω λίγη βελτίωση, θα ανοίξω το λάπτοπ και θα τελειώσω τη δουλειά που άφησα χτες.

What does μόλις mean here?

In this sentence, μόλις means as soon as.

So Μόλις δω λίγη βελτίωση means As soon as I see a little improvement.

Be careful: μόλις can also mean just / barely / only just in other contexts. For example, in another sentence it might mean I just arrived. But here, because it introduces a time clause followed by δω, it means as soon as.

Why is it δω and not βλέπω?

Because after μόλις meaning as soon as, Greek normally uses the subjunctive, not the plain present indicative.

So:

• μόλις δω = as soon as I see
• not μόλις βλέπω

Also, δω is the aorist subjunctive form of βλέπω. It refers to a single completed event: the moment the speaker notices some improvement.

That fits the meaning well:

• δω = see it once / notice it
• βλέπω would suggest an ongoing or habitual sense, which is not what is meant here

Why is there no να after μόλις?
