Questions & Answers about Πώς αντιμετωπίζεις το άγχος όταν είσαι πολύ πιεσμένη;

Why is there no word for you in this sentence?

Greek often drops subject pronouns when they are clear from the verb ending.

Here, αντιμετωπίζεις and είσαι both show that the subject is you (singular, informal), so Greek does not need to say εσύ.

• (εσύ) αντιμετωπίζεις = you deal with
• (εσύ) είσαι = you are

You could add εσύ for emphasis, but it is not necessary:

• Πώς εσύ αντιμετωπίζεις... sounds marked/emphatic, like How do you deal with...

What does Πώς mean here?

Πώς means how.

It introduces the question and asks about the way or method someone uses to deal with stress.

So:

• Πώς αντιμετωπίζεις... = How do you deal with...

A useful note: πώς with an accent is the question word how. In modern writing, the accent helps distinguish it from other forms.
