Questions & Answers about Το βράδυ φτιάχνω το παζλ με την ανιψιά μου στο χαλί.

Why does the sentence start with Το βράδυ? Does it literally mean the evening?

Yes, το βράδυ literally means the evening, but in this kind of sentence it usually functions like in the evening / at night / tonight, depending on context.

Greek often uses the article + time word as a time expression:

• το πρωί = in the morning
• το μεσημέρι = at noon / in the afternoon
• το βράδυ = in the evening / at night

So here Το βράδυ is not the subject. It is a time expression telling you when the action happens.

Why is there an article in το βράδυ? English usually just says at night.

That is just a normal Greek pattern. Greek commonly uses the definite article in time expressions where English often does not.

So:

• το βράδυ = at night / in the evening
• την Κυριακή = on Sunday
• τον χειμώνα = in winter

For an English speaker, the best approach is not to translate the article word-for-word here. Just learn το βράδυ as a fixed and very common expression.

Why is the verb φτιάχνω used for a puzzle? Doesn’t it usually mean make or fix?

Yes, φτιάχνω often means , , or , but in everyday Greek it is also commonly used for a puzzle.
