Περιμένω ακόμα την απάντησή σου.

Περιμένω is the 1st person singular present tense of περιμένω, so it means I wait or I am waiting.

In Greek, the present tense often covers both:

• I wait
• I am waiting

So in this sentence, Περιμένω ακόμα την απάντησή σου naturally means I’m still waiting for your answer.

Also, περιμένω can mean:

• to wait
• to wait for
• sometimes to expect, depending on context

In this sentence, it means to wait for.

Because in Greek, περιμένω can take a direct object.

English says:

• I’m waiting for your answer

Greek says more literally:

• I’m waiting your answer

So την απάντησή σου is the direct object of Περιμένω.

This is very common in Greek:

• Περιμένω το λεωφορείο = I’m waiting for the bus
• Περιμένω τον φίλο μου = I’m waiting for my friend

Because the noun is the direct object of the verb, so it must be in the accusative case, not the nominative.

The basic noun is:

• η απάντηση = the answer

But as a direct object, it becomes:

• την απάντηση = the answer

So:

• η απάντηση = subject form
• την απάντηση = object form

Since your answer is what the speaker is waiting for, Greek uses the accusative:

• την απάντησή σου

In Greek, unstressed possessive words like μου, σου, του, της, μας, σας, τους usually come after the noun.

So:

• η απάντησή σου = your answer
• το βιβλίο μου = my book
• ο φίλος της = her friend

This is the normal Greek pattern.

English puts the possessive before the noun:

• your answer

Greek usually puts it after:

• η απάντησή σου

That extra accent appears because σου is an enclitic.

The normal form is:

• απάντηση

But when an enclitic like μου or σου follows, Greek often adds an extra written accent to show the stress pattern clearly:

• η απάντησή μου
• η απάντησή σου

So:

• την απάντηση = without following enclitic
• την απάντησή σου = with enclitic, so an extra accent is written

This is a spelling rule you will see a lot with possessive pronouns.

Here ακόμα means still.

So:

• Περιμένω ακόμα = I’m still waiting

Depending on context, ακόμα can also mean:

• yet
• even
• more

But in this sentence, the natural meaning is clearly still.

They mean the same thing in most contexts.

Both can mean:

• still
• yet
• even

So both of these are natural:

• Περιμένω ακόμα την απάντησή σου
• Περιμένω ακόμη την απάντησή σου

In Modern Greek, ακόμα is very common in everyday speech.

Yes. Greek word order is more flexible than English word order.

The sentence:

• Περιμένω ακόμα την απάντησή σου

is a neutral, natural way to say it.

But you could also say:

• Ακόμα περιμένω την απάντησή σου

This puts more emphasis on ακόμα, as if saying:

• I’m still waiting for your answer
• I’m still, even now, waiting for your answer

So the meaning stays similar, but the emphasis changes.

Yes, σου is your for:

• one person
• informal singular

So this sentence is addressed to one person in an informal way.

If you wanted formal singular or plural your, you would use σας:

• Περιμένω ακόμα την απάντησή σας.

That can mean:

• I’m still waiting for your answer addressed politely to one person
• or addressed to more than one person

A simple pronunciation guide is:

• Περιμένω ≈ pe-ri-ME-no
• ακόμα ≈ a-KO-ma
• την ≈ tin
• απάντησή ≈ a-PAN-di-SI
• σου ≈ soo

Put together:

• pe-ri-ME-no a-KO-ma tin a-PAN-di-SI soo

A few helpful notes:

• η / ι / υ / ει / οι often sound like ee in Modern Greek
• ντ in απάντηση sounds like d
• την keeps the final ν here because the next word begins with a vowel

The dictionary form is:

• απάντηση = answer

It is a feminine noun:

• η απάντηση

Its accusative singular is:

• την απάντηση

And with the enclitic σου, it becomes:

• την απάντησή σου

So if you want to look it up, search for απάντηση.

Yes, it can, depending on tone and context.

By itself, Περιμένω ακόμα την απάντησή σου is neutral and simply states:

• I’m still waiting for your answer

But in real life, it can also sound like:

• a reminder
• a complaint
• a sign of impatience

That is very similar to English. Tone of voice and context make a big difference.

Not in standard Greek.

You need:

• the correct article
• the correct possessive form
• the correct accenting

So the standard form is:

• Περιμένω ακόμα την απάντησή σου

If you omit the article, Greek usually sounds less natural here, and απάντηση σου is also not the correct standard written form because the possessive construction normally appears as:

• η απάντησή σου
• την απάντησή σου

So for learners, the safe and correct version is:

• Περιμένω ακόμα την απάντησή σου
