Questions & Answers about Καληνύχτα, θα συνεχίσουμε αύριο, γιατί είμαι πολύ κουρασμένος.
Καληνύχτα is a fixed expression meaning good night. It comes historically from καλή νύχτα (good night), but in modern everyday Greek it is very commonly written as one word when used as a greeting or farewell.
You may still also see καλή νύχτα in some contexts, especially when the phrase is felt more literally, but καληνύχτα is extremely common as the set expression.
Θα is the particle used to form the future in Modern Greek. So:
- συνεχίζουμε = we continue / we are continuing
- θα συνεχίσουμε = we will continue
Unlike English, Greek does not usually use a separate verb like will. Instead, it uses θα plus the verb form.
After θα, Greek often uses a form based on the perfective stem when talking about a single complete future action.
So:
- θα συνεχίσουμε = we will continue
- συνεχίζουμε by itself usually means we continue / we are continuing
This is part of an important Greek pattern: many verbs have an imperfective form and a perfective form. English speakers often notice this because English does not mark this distinction in the same way.
