Questions & Answers about Για πρωινό τρώω βρώμη με γιαούρτι όταν δεν θέλω ψωμί.

Why does the sentence start with Για πρωινό?

Για πρωινό literally means for breakfast. Greek often uses για + accusative to show what meal something is for:

• Για πρωινό = for breakfast
• Για μεσημεριανό = for lunch
• Για βραδινό = for dinner

Starting the sentence with Για πρωινό brings breakfast to the front as the topic: as for breakfast, I eat...

Why is there no word for I in the sentence?

Greek often leaves out subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows who the subject is.

• τρώω = I eat
• θέλω = I want

So εγώ is not needed. You would only add εγώ for emphasis or contrast:

• Εγώ τρώω βρώμη... = I eat oats...

Why is τρώω used here? Does it mean I eat or I am eating?

The Greek present tense can cover both ideas, depending on context.

• τρώω can mean I eat
• or I am eating

In this sentence, because it describes a usual habit, it means I eat in the sense of I usually eat.
