Questions & Answers about Αν συγκρίνεις τις δύο τιμές, αυτή είναι καλύτερη.
What does Αν mean here?
Αν means if. It introduces a condition:
- Αν συγκρίνεις... = If you compare...
It is the normal word used in Modern Greek for if in sentences like this.
What form is συγκρίνεις?
Συγκρίνεις is the 2nd person singular form of συγκρίνω = to compare.
So it means:
- you compare
- you are comparing
- after αν, effectively if you compare
The ending -εις already tells you the subject is you (singular).
Why is there no separate word for you?
Because Greek often leaves subject pronouns out when the verb ending already makes the subject clear.
So:
- συγκρίνεις already means you compare
You could add εσύ for emphasis, but it is not necessary:
- Αν εσύ συγκρίνεις... = If you compare... with extra stress on you
