Μην βιάζεσαι, έχουμε ακόμα χρόνο.

Μην is the word used to make a negative command in Modern Greek.

So:

• Βιάσου! = Hurry!
• Μην βιάζεσαι! = Don’t hurry! / Don’t rush!

In this sentence, μην tells the listener not to do something.

A small detail: before verbs, you may also see μη(ν). The form μην is extremely common in everyday Greek, especially before a verb.

Because Greek does not usually give commands the same way English does.

Here, βιάζεσαι is the form that goes with μην for a negative command. It literally comes from the verb βιάζομαι (to hurry / to rush oneself / to be in a hurry).

So μην βιάζεσαι is the natural way to say:

• don’t hurry
• don’t rush
• take your time

Even though it may look like an ordinary present-tense form, after μην it functions as a command.

It comes from βιάζομαι.

This is a very useful verb meaning things like:

• to hurry
• to rush
• to be in a rush
• to force oneself to act quickly

In this sentence:

• βιάζεσαι = you hurry / you are hurrying
• with μην → don’t hurry

Notice that βιάζομαι is a verb that often appears in the middle/passive-style endings in Modern Greek:

• βιάζομαι = I hurry
• βιάζεσαι = you hurry
• βιάζεται = he/she/it hurries

It is singular informal — said to one person you address as you singular.

So this sentence is speaking to one person in a casual or familiar way.

Compare:

• Μην βιάζεσαι = don’t hurry (to one person, informal)
• Μην βιάζεστε = don’t hurry (to more than one person, or to one person formally/politely)

This is about aspect in Greek.

Greek often distinguishes between:

• imperfective forms: focus on the action as ongoing, repeated, or general
• perfective forms: focus on the action as a single whole event

In commands, this difference can matter.

• Μην βιάζεσαι sounds like don’t be in a rush / don’t rush yourself / take it easy
• Μην βιαστείς sounds more like don’t rush (to do it), often with focus on one particular act or occasion

In your sentence, Μην βιάζεσαι, έχουμε ακόμα χρόνο, the imperfective βιάζεσαι fits very naturally because the speaker means something like:

No need to be rushing — we still have time.

Because Greek often omits subject pronouns when the verb ending already makes the subject clear.

In this sentence:

• βιάζεσαι already tells you the subject is you singular
• έχουμε already tells you the subject is we

So Greek does not need to say:

• Εσύ μην βιάζεσαι
• Εμείς έχουμε ακόμα χρόνο

Those pronouns could be added for emphasis, but they are usually unnecessary.

Έχουμε is the 1st person plural form of έχω (to have).

So:

• έχω = I have
• έχουμε = we have

In this sentence:

• έχουμε ακόμα χρόνο = we still have time

It is very straightforward: the speaker includes both themself and the listener in the idea of having enough time.

Because after έχουμε (we have), the noun is used as the direct object, so it appears in the accusative case.

The dictionary form is:

• ο χρόνος = time / the year / the time

But as a direct object:

• τον χρόνο = the time / the year
• χρόνο = time

Here, Greek is using χρόνο in a more general, uncountable sense:

• έχουμε ακόμα χρόνο = we still have time

This is similar to English, where we usually say we have time, not we have the time, unless we mean something very specific.

Here ακόμα means still.

So:

• έχουμε ακόμα χρόνο = we still have time

Depending on context, ακόμα can also mean yet, even, or more, but in this sentence still is the natural meaning.

Examples:

• Είμαι ακόμα εδώ. = I am still here.
• Δεν ήρθε ακόμα. = He/She hasn’t come yet.
• Ακόμα καλύτερα. = Even better.

Yes. Ακόμα and ακόμη are both used in Modern Greek, and in many contexts they mean the same thing.

So you may see:

• έχουμε ακόμα χρόνο
• έχουμε ακόμη χρόνο

Both mean we still have time.

In everyday speech, ακόμα is extremely common. Ακόμη may sound a little more careful or formal in some contexts, but both are perfectly normal.

No, not by itself. It is usually quite natural and can sound caring, calming, or reassuring.

In this full sentence:

• Μην βιάζεσαι, έχουμε ακόμα χρόνο.

the second part makes the tone especially reassuring:

• Don’t rush, we still have time.

Of course, tone of voice matters. Said sharply, it could sound impatient. Said gently, it sounds comforting.

A very direct translation is:

• Don’t hurry, we still have time.

But natural English equivalents could also be:

• Don’t rush, we still have time.
• Take your time, we still have time.
• No need to rush, we still have time.

The Greek sentence can cover all of these depending on tone and context.

A helpful approximate pronunciation is:

• vyá-ze-se

with the stress on βιά.

A rough English-friendly guide:

• β sounds like v
• ιά sounds roughly like YA
• ζ sounds like z
• εσαι sounds roughly like e-se

So the whole sentence is approximately:

• Min VYA-ze-se, E-ho-me A-ko-ma HRO-no

A few extra notes:

• χ in χρόνο is not an English h exactly; it is a harsher sound, like the ch in German Bach or Scottish loch
• the stress marks matter:
  • βιάζεσαι
  • έχουμε
  • ακόμα
  • χρόνο

The comma separates two closely connected parts:

• Μην βιάζεσαι = don’t rush
• έχουμε ακόμα χρόνο = we still have time

The second clause explains the reason for the first one:

• Don’t rush, because we still have time.

Greek punctuation here works very much like English.

Yes. Greek word order is often more flexible than English word order.

The given sentence:

• Μην βιάζεσαι, έχουμε ακόμα χρόνο.

is completely natural.

But you could also hear variations such as:

• Μην βιάζεσαι, ακόμα χρόνο έχουμε.
• Έχουμε ακόμα χρόνο, μην βιάζεσαι.

These may shift emphasis a bit, but the basic meaning stays the same.

The original version is probably the most neutral and natural for a learner to remember.

It is informal singular because of βιάζεσαι.

The second verb έχουμε does not itself show formality — it just means we have. The clue is the command form addressed to the listener:

• μην βιάζεσαι = informal singular
• μην βιάζεστε = plural or formal singular

So if you were speaking politely to one person, you would usually say:

• Μην βιάζεστε, έχουμε ακόμα χρόνο.

It follows a very common Greek pattern:

• μην + verb for a negative command
• then a normal clause explaining or justifying it

So structurally:

• Μην βιάζεσαι = negative command to one person
• έχουμε ακόμα χρόνο = statement explaining why

This is a very useful pattern to learn because you can build many everyday sentences with it, for example:

• Μην ανησυχείς, όλα είναι εντάξει. = Don’t worry, everything is fine.
• Μην φεύγεις, δεν τελειώσαμε ακόμα. = Don’t leave, we haven’t finished yet.
• Μην κάνεις θόρυβο, κοιμάται. = Don’t make noise, he/she is sleeping.
