Αν συνδυάζεις σωστά τη δουλειά και την ξεκούραση, πετυχαίνεις πιο εύκολα τον στόχο σου.

Because the sentence expresses a general truth or habitual result:

• Αν συνδυάζεις... πετυχαίνεις... = If you combine..., you achieve...
• It means whenever this is true, that result usually follows.

In Greek, this kind of general condition often uses the present tense in both clauses.

If you wanted a specific future meaning, Greek would more likely say something like:

• Αν συνδυάσεις σωστά τη δουλειά και την ξεκούραση, θα πετύχεις πιο εύκολα τον στόχο σου.

That means If you combine work and rest correctly, you will achieve your goal more easily.

Αν means if.

It introduces the condition:

• Αν συνδυάζεις σωστά τη δουλειά και την ξεκούραση = If you combine work and rest correctly

So the structure is:

• condition
  • result

Here:

• Αν ... = the condition
• πετυχαίνεις πιο εύκολα τον στόχο σου = the result

Because Greek often uses the second person singular to mean a general you, just like English does in sentences such as:

• If you eat well, you feel better.

So here συνδυάζεις does not necessarily mean one specific person. It can mean:

• you in general
• a person
• someone

It is an informal, natural way to express a general statement.

If the speaker wanted to address more than one person or use a formal singular/plural you, they could say:

• Αν συνδυάζετε σωστά... πετυχαίνετε...

Greek uses the definite article much more often than English.

So even with general ideas like work and rest, Greek very naturally says:

• τη δουλειά
• την ξεκούραση

These are the two direct objects of συνδυάζεις.

A native English speaker often expects no article here, but in Greek the article sounds normal and idiomatic.

This is because the feminine accusative singular article is really τη(ν).

The final -ν is kept before:

• vowels
• and certain consonants such as κ, π, τ, ξ, ψ and some consonant combinations

So:

• δουλειά starts with δ, so the -ν is usually dropped: τη δουλειά
• ξεκούραση starts with ξ, so the -ν stays: την ξεκούραση

This is very common in Modern Greek.

Because they are the direct objects of συνδυάζεις.

You are combining what?

• τη δουλειά
• την ξεκούραση

So Greek uses the accusative.

The same thing happens later with:

• τον στόχο σου

because that is the direct object of πετυχαίνεις.

Σωστά is an adverb here. It means:

• correctly
• properly
• in the right way

It modifies the verb συνδυάζεις:

• συνδυάζεις σωστά = you combine correctly

A useful pattern to notice is that many Greek adverbs look like the neuter singular form of an adjective:

• σωστός, σωστή, σωστό = correct
• σωστά = correctly

Here πετυχαίνεις means:

• you achieve
• you attain
• you reach

So:

• πετυχαίνεις τον στόχο σου = you achieve your goal

The verb πετυχαίνω can have several meanings depending on context, including:

• achieve / succeed in
• hit a target
• sometimes run into / meet someone by chance

But with τον στόχο σου, the meaning is clearly achieve your goal.

Yes, both are possible.

• πιο εύκολα = more easily
• ευκολότερα = more easily

In Modern Greek, πιο + adverb/adjective is extremely common and very natural.

So this sentence uses a very everyday pattern:

• πιο εύκολα = more easily

You could say:

• πετυχαίνεις πιο εύκολα τον στόχο σου
• πετυχαίνεις ευκολότερα τον στόχο σου

Both work, but πιο εύκολα often sounds especially natural in ordinary speech.

Because σου here is a possessive clitic meaning your, and in Greek it normally comes after the noun:

• ο στόχος σου = your goal
• τον στόχο σου = your goal in the accusative

So the order is:

• article + noun + possessive clitic

This is standard Greek word order.

If you want extra emphasis, Greek can use:

• τον δικό σου στόχο

But the normal, neutral form is:

• τον στόχο σου

A fairly literal breakdown is:

• Αν = if
• συνδυάζεις = you combine
• σωστά = correctly
• τη δουλειά = the work
• και = and
• την ξεκούραση = the rest
• πετυχαίνεις = you achieve
• πιο εύκολα = more easily
• τον στόχο σου = your goal

So a close literal rendering would be:

• If you combine correctly the work and the rest, you achieve more easily your goal.

That sounds unnatural in English, but it shows how the Greek sentence is built.

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

For example, this is also natural:

• Πετυχαίνεις πιο εύκολα τον στόχο σου, αν συνδυάζεις σωστά τη δουλειά και την ξεκούραση.

Or:

• Τον στόχο σου τον πετυχαίνεις πιο εύκολα, αν συνδυάζεις σωστά τη δουλειά και την ξεκούραση.

These versions can slightly change the focus or emphasis, but the core meaning stays the same.

The original sentence is a very neutral, natural way to say it.

Because the sentence begins with the if-clause:

• Αν συνδυάζεις σωστά τη δουλειά και την ξεκούραση, ...

Greek, like English, commonly uses a comma after an introductory conditional clause.

If the main clause comes first, the comma is often less necessary:

• Πετυχαίνεις πιο εύκολα τον στόχο σου αν συνδυάζεις σωστά τη δουλειά και την ξεκούραση.

So the comma here is mainly helping separate:

• the condition
• from the result
