Breakdown of Σκοπεύω να συνδυάσω το διάβασμα με έναν μικρό περίπατο, γιατί έτσι κουράζομαι λιγότερο.
Questions & Answers about Σκοπεύω να συνδυάσω το διάβασμα με έναν μικρό περίπατο, γιατί έτσι κουράζομαι λιγότερο.
Because σκοπεύω normally introduces another action with να.
- σκοπεύω = I intend / I plan
- σκοπεύω να + verb = I intend to do something
So σκοπεύω να συνδυάσω means I intend to combine.
This is a very common Greek pattern: a verb of intention, desire, possibility, etc. + να + another verb.
After να, Greek chooses an aspect, not a tense in the same way English does.
- να συνδυάσω = perfective aspect, seeing the action as a whole, as one complete act
- να συνδυάζω = imperfective aspect, focusing on the action as ongoing, repeated, or habitual
Here, να συνδυάσω is the natural choice because the speaker means a planned action viewed as one whole idea: to combine studying with a short walk.
A rough contrast:
- Σκοπεύω να συνδυάσω... = I intend to combine...
- Σκοπεύω να συνδυάζω... = I intend to be combining / to combine regularly as a habit
