Questions & Answers about Κάθομαι στο σκαμπό της κουζίνας και τρώω πρωινό.

Why is there no subject pronoun like εγώ in this sentence?

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

• κάθομαι = I sit / I am sitting
• τρώω = I eat / I am eating

So εγώ is not necessary. You would add it mainly for emphasis or contrast.

What exactly does κάθομαι mean here?

Κάθομαι means I sit or I am sitting. In this sentence, the natural English meaning is I am sitting.

It is the 1st person singular present tense form. This verb looks middle/passive in form, but its meaning is active.

Why is it στο and not σε το?

Στο is the contracted form of σε + το.

• σε = a very common preposition that can mean in, at, on, to
• το = the for a neuter singular noun

So:

• σε το σκαμπό becomes στο σκαμπό

This contraction is standard Greek.

Why does Greek use στο here when English says on the stool?
