Ο νονός είπε ότι θέλει να βαφτίσει το παιδί το πρωί και μετά να πάμε όλοι για φαγητό.

Ο νονός means the godfather.

• ο = the for a masculine singular noun in the nominative
• νονός = godfather

Greek uses the definite article very often, so ο νονός is the normal way to say the godfather.

Not necessarily. Greek often does not backshift tenses the way English does.

So Greek can say:

• είπε ότι θέλει...
  literally: he said that he wants...

In natural English, we often translate that as:

• he said that he wanted...

So είπε is past because the act of saying happened in the past, while θέλει stays present because it reflects what he said he wants.

Here ότι means that and introduces reported speech or a content clause:

• είπε ότι... = he said that...

A useful extra note: ότι can often be replaced by πως in this kind of sentence:

• είπε ότι θέλει...
• είπε πως θέλει...

Both are natural.

No.

• ότι = that
• ό,τι = whatever / anything that

So in this sentence, it must be ότι, because it means that:

• είπε ότι θέλει... = he said that he wants...

After verbs like θέλω (to want), Greek normally uses να + verb.

So:

• θέλει να βαφτίσει = he wants to baptize

You can think of να as introducing a dependent verb phrase, something like to or that ... should, depending on the English translation.

βαφτίσει is the form used here because the sentence refers to a single complete action: baptizing the child once.

• να βαφτίσει = to baptize / to carry out the baptism
• να βαφτίζει would suggest something more repeated, ongoing, or habitual, which does not fit here

This is a very common contrast in Greek after να:

• perfective (aorist-style) form for one whole action
• imperfective form for repeated or ongoing action

So να βαφτίσει is the natural choice.

Because Greek usually uses the definite article when talking about a specific person or thing.

• το παιδί = the child

Here it refers to a particular child, not just a child in general.

Greek uses articles more often than English, so this is very normal.

Το πρωί is a fixed time expression meaning in the morning.

Greek often uses the article in expressions of time:

• το πρωί = in the morning
• το βράδυ = in the evening / at night
• το μεσημέρι = at noon / at lunchtime

So the article is part of the normal expression.

Because this is a second verb phrase dependent on the same idea of wanting.

The structure is:

• θέλει να βαφτίσει... και μετά να πάμε...
• he wants to baptize... and then for us to go...

Greek repeats να before the second verb. That is normal and expected.

Yes. πάμε means we go / we should go / let’s go, depending on context.

Here, after να, it means:

• να πάμε όλοι για φαγητό = for all of us to go for food / for us all to go eat

Since it is first person plural, the speaker is included in the group.

So the godfather wants:

1. to baptize the child in the morning, and
2. then for all of us, including the speaker, to go eat

Όλοι means all or everyone.

In this sentence it goes with the implied subject of πάμε:

• να πάμε όλοι = for us all to go

It emphasizes that the whole group should go, not just some people.

Greek normally uses the masculine plural as the default for a mixed group.

So:

• όλοι = all of us / everyone for a mixed or all-male group
• όλες would be used for an all-female group

That is why όλοι is natural here.

Literally, it means for food, but idiomatically it means:

• to go eat
• for a meal
• out for food

So:

• να πάμε όλοι για φαγητό = for us all to go eat / for us all to go out for a meal

It is a very common everyday expression.

Μετά means after / later / then.

Here it means then / afterwards:

• και μετά να πάμε όλοι για φαγητό = and then for us all to go eat

So the sequence is:

1. baptize the child in the morning
2. then go for food

Greek word order is fairly flexible, although some versions sound more natural than others.

This sentence is natural as written:

• Ο νονός είπε ότι θέλει να βαφτίσει το παιδί το πρωί και μετά να πάμε όλοι για φαγητό.

But Greek can move elements for emphasis. For example, όλοι could move slightly depending on what the speaker wants to stress. Even so, the original order is very normal and clear.

Yes. That is a very common thing when translating from Greek.

Greek:

• είπε ότι θέλει...

Literal English:

• he said that he wants...

Natural English:

• he said that he wanted...

So when reading Greek, do not expect it to match English tense choices exactly.
