Μπορείτε να μου φέρετε άλλο ένα σουβέρ, παρακαλώ; Η φίλη μου έφερε μόνο δύο.

Μπορείτε να literally means can you or are you able to. It is a very common way to make a polite request in Greek.

• μπορείτε = you can / you are able (plural or polite singular)
• να introduces the following verb

So Μπορείτε να μου φέρετε...; means Can you bring me...?

This is similar to polite English requests like Could you bring me...?

Μπορείτε is the plural form, but Greek also uses it as the polite singular form, like French vous or Spanish usted.

• μπορείς = you can when speaking to one person informally
• μπορείτε = you can when speaking to:
  • more than one person, or
  • one person politely

In this sentence, it is probably a polite request to a waiter, server, or stranger.

An informal version would be:

Μπορείς να μου φέρεις άλλο ένα σουβέρ, παρακαλώ;

After μπορείτε να, Greek usually uses the verb form that corresponds to the aorist subjunctive for a single, complete action.

So:

• να φέρετε = to bring / bring as one complete action
• φέρνετε is more like you bring or you are bringing in other contexts

Here, the speaker is asking for one specific action: bring one more coaster. That is why φέρετε is natural.

Here μου means to me.

So:

• να μου φέρετε = to bring me / bring me

This is an indirect object pronoun.

Be careful: μου can also mean my in other contexts, as in:

• η φίλη μου = my friend

So in this sentence, μου appears twice but with two different roles:

• να μου φέρετε = bring me
• η φίλη μου = my friend

Άλλο ένα literally means one more or another one.

• άλλο = another / other
• ένα = one / a

Together, άλλο ένα σουβέρ means another coaster or one more coaster.

This is a very common Greek pattern:

• άλλο ένα ποτήρι = another glass
• άλλη μία μέρα = one more day
• άλλο ένα λεπτό = one more minute

Greek often expresses this idea with both words, where English might just say another.

Because σουβέρ is treated as a neuter noun in Greek.

So the words that go with it must also be neuter:

• άλλο = neuter form of other/another
• ένα = neuter form of one/a

Compare:

• άλλος ένας φίλος = another male friend (masculine)
• άλλη μία φίλη = another female friend (feminine)
• άλλο ένα σουβέρ = another coaster (neuter)

Σουβέρ means coaster, the small object you put under a glass or cup.

It is a loanword in Greek, and it usually does not change form much. In everyday use, people commonly say:

• ένα σουβέρ = a coaster
• δύο σουβέρ = two coasters

So unlike many Greek nouns, this word often stays the same in the singular and plural in casual usage.

Έφερε is the past tense form meaning brought.

It comes from the verb φέρνω (to bring).

So:

• φέρνω = I bring / I am bringing
• έφερε = he/she/it brought

Since η φίλη μου means my friend and φίλη is feminine, here έφερε means:

my friend brought

Greek past tense often shows a completed action, so έφερε μόνο δύο means she brought only two.

Η φίλη μου is the normal way to say my friend for a female friend.

• η = the (feminine singular)
• φίλη = female friend
• μου = my

In Greek, the possessive word μου usually comes after the noun:

• ο φίλος μου = my male friend
• η φίλη μου = my female friend
• το σπίτι μου = my house

So this word order is completely normal.

Because the noun is understood from the context.

Η φίλη μου έφερε μόνο δύο literally means My friend brought only two, and Greek can leave out the noun when it is already obvious.

Here, the omitted noun is probably σουβέρ:

• Η φίλη μου έφερε μόνο δύο σουβέρ.
• My friend brought only two coasters.

English can do this too: She only brought two.

Μόνο means only.

So:

• έφερε μόνο δύο = she brought only two

It limits the quantity and explains why the speaker wants another coaster.

You can use μόνο in many contexts:

• Έχω μόνο ένα ευρώ. = I only have one euro.
• Ήρθα μόνο για λίγο. = I came only for a little while.

In Greek, the question mark is written as ;

So:

• Greek ; = English ?

That means:

Μπορείτε να μου φέρετε άλλο ένα σουβέρ, παρακαλώ;

is a question, even though it ends with what looks like a semicolon to an English speaker.

This is one of the first punctuation differences English speakers notice in Greek.

Yes. Παρακαλώ is a very common and natural way to say please in requests.

So:

• Μπορείτε να μου φέρετε άλλο ένα σουβέρ, παρακαλώ; = Can you bring me another coaster, please?

But παρακαλώ is also a very flexible word in Greek. It can also mean things like:

• you’re welcome
• go ahead
• pardon?

Its exact meaning depends on context.

Yes. Άλλο ένα σουβέρ can naturally be translated as either:

• another coaster
• one more coaster

Both work well in English. The Greek phrase focuses on adding one additional item.

If you were speaking casually to one person you know well, you would normally use μπορείς and φέρεις instead of μπορείτε and φέρετε:

Μπορείς να μου φέρεις άλλο ένα σουβέρ, παρακαλώ;

That means the same thing, but it is informal singular:

• μπορείς = can you (informal singular)
• φέρεις = bring (informal singular after να)

Yes, but Greek word order is often more flexible than English.

The sentence:

Μπορείτε να μου φέρετε άλλο ένα σουβέρ, παρακαλώ;

has a very natural order:

1. polite request opener
2. pronoun μου
3. verb
4. object
5. παρακαλώ

But Greek could sometimes move things around for emphasis. For example, μόνο δύο stays together naturally in the second sentence because μόνο modifies δύο.

The given word order sounds normal, polite, and idiomatic.
