Το μωρό κοιμάται μόνο όταν βρίσκει το παιχνιδάκι του στο κρεβατάκι.

Το μωρό means the baby and it is in the nominative case, because it is the subject of the sentence.

• το = the for a neuter singular noun
• μωρό = baby

So Το μωρό = the baby.

Greek nouns change form depending on their role in the sentence, but here the subject is simply the baby, so nominative is used.

Yes, μωρό is a neuter noun in Greek. That is a grammatical feature of the word, not necessarily a comment on the baby's biological sex.

In Greek, many nouns for young children or babies are neuter:

• το μωρό = the baby
• το παιδί = the child

Because the noun is neuter, other words connected to it also appear in neuter forms where needed. In English, translating it as it can sound a bit impersonal, but grammatically that is often the closest match.

Κοιμάται means sleeps or is sleeping.

It is the 3rd person singular form:
he/she/it sleeps

The verb is κοιμάμαι in its dictionary form, which is a deponent/passive-form verb. That means it often has passive-looking endings, even when the meaning is active.

So:

• κοιμάμαι = I sleep / I am sleeping
• κοιμάται = he/she/it sleeps / is sleeping

This is very common in Modern Greek. Not every verb that looks passive is actually passive in meaning.

It can mean either, depending on context.

Greek present tense often covers both:

• simple present: sleeps
• present continuous: is sleeping

So Το μωρό κοιμάται could mean:

• The baby sleeps
• The baby is sleeping

In this sentence, because of μόνο όταν... (only when...), English usually prefers The baby sleeps only when... or The baby only falls asleep when..., depending on context.

Μόνο όταν means only when.

Breakdown:

• μόνο = only
• όταν = when

Together they introduce a condition:

• Το μωρό κοιμάται μόνο όταν...
• The baby sleeps only when...

This tells us that the action happens exclusively under that condition.

Βρίσκει is the present tense form of βρίσκω (to find).

Here it is used because Greek commonly uses the present tense in general statements or repeated situations:

• βρίσκει = finds / is finding

So the sentence describes a regular pattern:

• The baby sleeps only when it finds...

If you used:

• θα βρει = will find
• βρήκε = found

the meaning would shift to a future or completed past event, which is not what this sentence is doing.

Because Greek verbs already show the subject in their ending.

Βρίσκει already means:

• he finds
• she finds
• it finds

Since the subject Το μωρό has already been stated, Greek does not need to repeat a subject pronoun.

This is very normal in Greek. Subject pronouns are often omitted unless you want emphasis or contrast.

Το παιχνιδάκι του means its little toy or his little toy, depending on context.

Breakdown:

• το = the
• παιχνιδάκι = little toy / toy
• του = his / its / of him / of it

So literally it is something like:

• the little toy of it/him

In natural English, that becomes:

• its toy
• his toy

Since the subject is the baby, English often uses its grammatically, but in natural English many people might prefer his or her if the baby's sex is known.

It is basically the genitive form of the pronoun, and in this sentence it functions as a possessive.

So του can mean:

• his
• its
• of him
• of it

In το παιχνιδάκι του, it shows ownership:

• his/its toy

Greek often expresses possession this way, with the genitive clitic after the noun.

Παιχνιδάκι is a diminutive form of παιχνίδι.

• παιχνίδι = toy
• παιχνιδάκι = little toy / small toy / dear little toy

Greek uses diminutives very often, especially when talking about:

• children
• babies
• pets
• familiar or affectionate things

So here παιχνιδάκι can suggest something small, cute, or emotionally important to the baby.

Because στο is the contracted form of σε το.

• σε = in / at / on / to
• το = the
• σε το → στο

So:

• στο κρεβατάκι = in the little bed / crib

This contraction is standard in Modern Greek:

• σε + το = στο
• σε + τη = στη
• σε + τον = στον

Κρεβατάκι is the diminutive of κρεβάτι.

• κρεβάτι = bed
• κρεβατάκι = little bed

In the context of a baby, κρεβατάκι often means:

• crib
• cot
• little bed

So the diminutive is very natural here, because we are talking about a baby's bed.

In this context, it usually means in the little bed / in the crib.

Greek σε can cover several English prepositions depending on context:

• in
• at
• on
• to

So στο κρεβατάκι is literally just in/at/on the little bed, but the natural English choice here is usually in the crib or in the little bed.

The basic order here is:

Το μωρό | κοιμάται | μόνο όταν | βρίσκει | το παιχνιδάκι του | στο κρεβατάκι

That is roughly: The baby | sleeps | only when | finds | its toy | in the crib

Greek word order is more flexible than English because the endings often make the roles clearer. So some parts can move for emphasis.

For example, you might also hear variations that emphasize the place or the toy. But the version given is very natural and neutral.

Yes, that is a very possible natural translation depending on context.

Literally, κοιμάται is sleeps / is sleeping, but in real use English often prefers falls asleep if the meaning is about the condition required for the baby to begin sleeping.

So depending on context, all of these can work:

• The baby sleeps only when it finds its toy in the crib.
• The baby only sleeps when it finds its toy in the crib.
• The baby only falls asleep when it finds its toy in the crib.

The Greek itself does not explicitly say falls asleep, but context may suggest it.

It most naturally describes a habitual or general situation.

That is because both verbs are in the present tense:

• κοιμάται = sleeps
• βρίσκει = finds

So the sentence sounds like:

• this is what usually happens
• this is the baby's pattern

If Greek wanted to describe one specific event, the wording would probably be different and would include more context or different tense/aspect choices.
