What does θέλω mean here?
Θέλω means I want.
It is the 1st person singular form of the verb θέλω = to want.
So:
- θέλω = I want
- θέλεις = you want
- θέλει = he/she/it wants
In this sentence, the subject I is not written separately, because Greek usually includes that information in the verb ending.
Where is the word for I?
It is built into θέλω.
Greek often drops subject pronouns when they are not needed. So:
- Θέλω ρεβάνς! = I want a rematch!
- Εγώ θέλω ρεβάνς! = I want a rematch! with extra emphasis on I
So the sentence without εγώ is completely normal.
Why is there no να after θέλω?
