Με τόση ομίχλη δεν ξεχωρίζω καλά τη γέφυρα.

Με τόση ομίχλη means with so much fog or more naturally in English, in this much fog / with all this fog.

Here με literally means with, but Greek often uses it to set the circumstances in which something happens. So the phrase explains the condition first, and then the main statement follows:

Με τόση ομίχλη = with so much fog
δεν ξεχωρίζω καλά τη γέφυρα = I can’t make out the bridge clearly

This kind of opening phrase is very common in Greek.

Because ομίχλη is a feminine noun.

The word τόσος, τόση, τόσο changes form to agree with the noun:

• τόσος for masculine
• τόση for feminine
• τόσο for neuter

Since ομίχλη is feminine, Greek uses τόση.

So:

• τόση ομίχλη = so much fog

Greek often leaves out the article in expressions like this when speaking generally about an amount of something.

So τόση ομίχλη means:

• so much fog
• this much fog

If you said με την τόση ομίχλη, that would sound more marked or emphatic, something like with all this fog in a more pointed way. The version without the article is the most natural here.

In this sentence, ξεχωρίζω means something like:

• make out
• distinguish
• see clearly enough to recognize

So δεν ξεχωρίζω καλά τη γέφυρα is not just I don’t see the bridge, but more specifically I can’t make it out clearly.

This verb can have related meanings in other contexts too, such as separate, distinguish, or stand out, so context matters.

Greek often uses simple negation where English uses can’t.

So:

• δεν ξεχωρίζω καλά literally = I do not distinguish/make out well
• natural English = I can’t make out clearly

Greek does have ways to express ability, but in everyday speech, δεν + verb is very often enough to convey the idea that under the circumstances, you can’t do something.

Καλά is an adverb meaning well.

Here it modifies ξεχωρίζω:

• ξεχωρίζω καλά = I make out clearly / I distinguish well
• δεν ξεχωρίζω καλά = I don’t make out clearly

In natural English, we often translate it as clearly rather than well, because that sounds more idiomatic in this context.

Because καλά modifies the verb ξεχωρίζω, not the noun γέφυρα.

Greek word order is fairly flexible, but this order is very natural:

• δεν ξεχωρίζω καλά τη γέφυρα

That is basically:

• I don’t clearly make out the bridge

If you move καλά, the meaning usually stays similar, but the emphasis can shift slightly. The given order is standard and neutral.

Because γέφυρα is the direct object of the verb, and direct objects take the accusative case.

The noun is:

• nominative: η γέφυρα = the bridge
• accusative: τη γέφυρα = the bridge

So:

• η γέφυρα = subject form
• τη γέφυρα = object form

In this sentence, the speaker is acting on the bridge by trying to make it out, so Greek uses the accusative.

Both spellings exist, but in Modern Greek, before a word beginning with certain sounds, the final -ν is often dropped in writing and speech.

So:

• την γέφυρα
• τη γέφυρα

Both can be seen, but τη γέφυρα is very common and natural.

Since γέφυρα begins with γ, dropping the final -ν is normal here.

Yes, ξεχωρίζω is present tense, first person singular:

• ξεχωρίζω = I distinguish / I make out

Greek present tense often covers what English expresses with the simple present or with can in context. So although the literal structure is I do not make out the bridge well, the most natural English translation is often:

• I can’t make out the bridge clearly

So the Greek tense is present, but the best English phrasing may use can’t.

Yes, that is a perfectly reasonable translation.

Possible natural translations include:

• I can’t make out the bridge clearly.
• I can’t see the bridge well.
• With so much fog, I can’t distinguish the bridge clearly.

The exact English wording depends on how literal or natural you want to be, but the Greek sentence itself is completely natural.

Greek word order is more flexible than English, because case endings and articles help show what each word is doing.

The given sentence is neutral and natural:

• Με τόση ομίχλη δεν ξεχωρίζω καλά τη γέφυρα.

But other word orders are possible for emphasis, for example:

• Δεν ξεχωρίζω καλά τη γέφυρα με τόση ομίχλη.
• Τη γέφυρα δεν ξεχωρίζω καλά με τόση ομίχλη.

These can sound more emphatic or context-dependent. For a learner, the original version is the best basic model.

Here are the key forms:

• με = with
• τόσος, τόση, τόσο = so much / so many
• ομίχλη = fog
• δεν = not
• ξεχωρίζω = distinguish, make out, separate, stand out
• καλά = well, clearly
• γέφυρα = bridge

And the specific forms used here are:

• τόση because ομίχλη is feminine
• ξεχωρίζω = I make out
• τη γέφυρα = accusative the bridge
