Questions & Answers about Δεν ξέρω πού να βάλω αυτό το έπιπλο.

Why does the sentence start with Δεν?

Δεν is the normal negation word for not before a verb in Modern Greek.

So:

• ξέρω = I know
• δεν ξέρω = I don’t know

It usually comes directly before the verb phrase it negates.

Where is the word for I?

Greek often leaves subject pronouns out because the verb ending already tells you who the subject is.

Here:

• ξέρω = I know
• βάλω = I put / I place in this form

So Greek does not need an explicit εγώ (I) unless you want emphasis:

• Εγώ δεν ξέρω... = I don’t know... / As for me, I don’t know...

What does πού do here?

Πού means where.

In this sentence, it introduces an indirect question:

• Δεν ξέρω πού... = I don’t know where...

So this is not a direct question like Πού είναι; (Where is it?), but an embedded one: I don’t know where...

Why does πού have an accent mark?
