Questions & Answers about Πετυχαίνω καλύτερο αποτέλεσμα όταν επιλέγω λίγα αλλά σημαντικά πράγματα και δεν προσπαθώ να κάνω τα πάντα μαζί.

What does πετυχαίνω mean here exactly?

Here πετυχαίνω means achieve, get, or obtain a result.

It is a very common verb with a few related meanings, such as:

• succeed
• manage to achieve
• hit / reach a target

In this sentence, Πετυχαίνω καλύτερο αποτέλεσμα means that the speaker gets a better result.

Why is there no word for I in the sentence?

Greek often leaves out subject pronouns when they are not needed.

The verb ending already shows the subject:

• πετυχαίνω = I achieve / I get
• επιλέγω = I choose
• προσπαθώ = I try
• κάνω = I do / I make

So adding εγώ would usually only be for emphasis or contrast.

Why are all the verbs in the present tense?

Because the sentence expresses a general truth, habit, or usual pattern, not just one specific moment.

So Greek uses the present tense much like English does in sentences such as:

• I get better results when I focus
• I choose a few important things
• I do not try to do everything at once

This is a very normal use of the Greek present.
