Βάζω το βάζο με το μέλι στο ντουλάπι.

Because βάζω already means I put / I am putting.

In Greek, the verb ending often tells you who the subject is. The ending -ω here marks first person singular, so Greek does not need the pronoun εγώ unless you want emphasis.

• Βάζω... = I put...
• Εγώ βάζω... = I put... with extra emphasis, contrast, or clarification

Στο is the contracted form of σε + το.

• σε = in, into, to, at
• το = the for a neuter singular noun
• σε το ντουλάπι becomes στο ντουλάπι

This contraction is normal and standard in Modern Greek.

Because each noun needs its own article.

In this sentence:

• το βάζο = the jar
• το μέλι = the honey
• στο ντουλάπι = in/into the cupboard where το is inside στο

Greek uses articles very regularly, often more often than English does.

They are different words, but they are closely related in form:

• βάζω = a verb: I put
• βάζο = a noun: jar / vase

For a learner, this can feel confusing because they look very similar and, in Modern Greek, they are also pronounced the same: /ˈvazo/.

You tell them apart by grammar and position:

• Βάζω at the beginning works as the verb
• το βάζο clearly shows a noun, because it has the article το

So context does the work.

Yes, in standard Modern Greek they are pronounced the same.

That is because:

• ο and ω are both pronounced o
• both words are stressed on the first syllable

So both sound like VA-zo.

This is common in Greek: spelling can preserve older distinctions that are no longer heard in pronunciation.

After με and σε, Greek uses the accusative.

So in this sentence, the noun phrases are functioning in the accusative:

• το βάζο
• το μέλι
• το ντουλάπι

However, all three nouns are neuter singular, and in Modern Greek the nominative and accusative forms of neuter singular are the same. So you do not see a visible change here, even though the case is still important grammatically.

Both are possible, but they do not mean exactly the same thing.

• με το μέλι = with the honey
  This usually refers to a specific, known honey
• με μέλι = with honey
  This sounds more general, like containing honey or with some honey

So το makes μέλι more definite and specific.

Here it means with the honey as a description of the jar: the jar with the honey.

In other words, με το μέλι modifies το βάζο.

Greek με can sometimes mean with in different senses, but in this sentence the natural reading is that it describes what is in or associated with the jar, not the means by which the action is done.

So the structure is understood as:

• Βάζω = verb
• το βάζο με το μέλι = the object
• στο ντουλάπι = place/destination

It can correspond to either in or into in English, depending on the verb and context.

Greek σε covers several meanings that English often separates:

• in
• into
• to
• at

With a verb like βάζω (put), English often prefers into the cupboard or in the cupboard, depending on style. Greek simply uses στο ντουλάπι.

So the Greek phrase itself does not force the same distinction English does.

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

The sentence as given is very natural:

• Βάζω το βάζο με το μέλι στο ντουλάπι.

But Greek could also rearrange parts for emphasis, topic, or style, for example:

• Στο ντουλάπι βάζω το βάζο με το μέλι.
• Το βάζο με το μέλι το βάζω στο ντουλάπι.

These versions shift emphasis, but the core meaning stays the same.

It is the present tense, first person singular.

Depending on context, it can mean:

• I put (habitually, generally)
• I am putting (right now)

Greek present tense can cover both a simple present and a present progressive idea, depending on context.

If you wanted a future meaning, Greek would normally use θα plus a future form, for example:

• Θα βάλω... = I will put...

ντουλάπι is pronounced approximately doo-LA-pee.

A few useful pronunciation points:

• β sounds like v
• ντ at the beginning of a word usually sounds like d
• ου sounds like oo
• λι here sounds like lee

So a rough pronunciation of the whole sentence is:

VA-zo to VA-zo me to ME-lee sto doo-LA-pee

More approximately in IPA:

/ˈvazo to ˈvazo me to ˈmeli sto duˈlapi/

Not always. Βάζο can also mean vase.

Context tells you which meaning is intended.

For example:

• βάζο με λουλούδια would likely mean vase with flowers
• βάζο με μέλι naturally suggests jar with honey

So in this sentence, the context strongly points to jar, not vase.
