Questions & Answers about Συνεργαζόμαστε πολύ καλά.

What part of the sentence is Συνεργαζόμαστε?

Συνεργαζόμαστε is the verb, and it means we cooperate / we collaborate / we work together.

It already includes the subject we, so Greek does not need a separate word for we unless you want emphasis:

Συνεργαζόμαστε πολύ καλά. = We work together very well.
Εμείς συνεργαζόμαστε πολύ καλά. = We work together very well. (emphatic)

Why does Συνεργαζόμαστε end in -όμαστε?

The ending -όμαστε is a very common 1st person plural ending in Modern Greek for verbs in the middle/passive form.

So:

συνεργάζομαι = I cooperate / I collaborate
συνεργαζόμαστε = we cooperate / we collaborate

Even though this looks like a passive-type ending, here the meaning is not passive in English. It does not mean we are collaborated. It is just the normal form this verb uses.

Is συνεργάζομαι passive?

Grammatically, it uses middle/passive endings, but in meaning it is usually active.

So:

συνεργάζομαι με κάποιον = I collaborate with someone

This is very common in Greek: some verbs appear in these endings but are translated with an active verb in English.

Do I need to say εμείς for we?

Usually, no.

Greek often leaves out subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows the person and number.
Since -όμαστε clearly means we, εμείς is optional.

You add εμείς only if you want contrast or emphasis:

Εμείς συνεργαζόμαστε πολύ καλά, αλλά αυτοί όχι.
= We work very well together, but they do not.

What do πολύ and καλά each mean here?

In this sentence:

πολύ = very
καλά = well

Together, πολύ καλά means very well.

So the structure is:

Συνεργαζόμαστε = we work together / we cooperate
πολύ καλά = very well

Why is it καλά and not καλός / καλή / καλό?

Because here you need an adverb, not an adjective.

καλός, καλή, καλό = good
καλά = well

The sentence describes how we cooperate, so Greek uses the adverb:

Συνεργαζόμαστε πολύ καλά. = We cooperate very well.

Compare:

Είναι καλός συνεργάτης. = He is a good partner/collaborator.
(καλός = adjective)
Συνεργάζεται καλά. = He works well with others.
(καλά = adverb)

Can the word order change?

Yes, Greek word order is more flexible than English, although some versions sound more natural than others.

The neutral, natural order is:

Συνεργαζόμαστε πολύ καλά.

You may also hear:

Πολύ καλά συνεργαζόμαστε.

That can sound more marked, as if emphasizing how well.

A learner should usually stick with:

Συνεργαζόμαστε πολύ καλά.

Can Συνεργαζόμαστε mean both we cooperate and we are cooperating?

Yes. The Greek present tense often covers both:

a general/habitual meaning: we cooperate
a current/ongoing meaning: we are cooperating

The exact meaning depends on context.

For example:

Συνεργαζόμαστε χρόνια. = We’ve been working together for years.
Αυτή την περίοδο συνεργαζόμαστε σε ένα νέο έργο. = At the moment we are collaborating on a new project.

Is this sentence about working together in a job, or can it be used more generally?

It can be used in several contexts.

Συνεργάζομαι often suggests:

working together professionally
collaborating on a project
cooperating with another person or group

So Συνεργαζόμαστε πολύ καλά could describe:

coworkers
business partners
students on a project
even two people who cooperate smoothly in general

If you want a more basic everyday idea of we work together, Greek might also use other expressions depending on context, but συνεργαζόμαστε is very natural.

Do I need the word μαζί here?

No.

English often says work together, but Greek does not need μαζί here because the idea of cooperation is already built into συνεργαζόμαστε.

So:

Συνεργαζόμαστε πολύ καλά. = We work together very well.

You can sometimes add μαζί for extra emphasis:

Συνεργαζόμαστε πολύ καλά μαζί.

But in many cases it sounds unnecessary, because συνεργάζομαι already implies doing something jointly.

How do you pronounce Συνεργαζόμαστε πολύ καλά?

A simple pronunciation guide is:

see-ner-ga-ZO-ma-ste po-LEE ka-LA

A more accurate approximation:

Συνεργαζόμαστε ≈ sinerga-ZO-maste
πολύ ≈ po-LEE
καλά ≈ ka-LA

Stress falls where the accent marks are:

συνεργαζόμαστε
πολύ
καλά

A few sound notes:

γ before α here sounds like a soft voiced sound, somewhat like gh
συ sounds like si in Modern Greek pronunciation
ου would sound like oo, but there is no ου in this sentence

What is the dictionary form of Συνεργαζόμαστε?

The dictionary form is συνεργάζομαι.

That is the 1st person singular present form, literally I cooperate / I collaborate.

Many Greek dictionaries list verbs this way, even if in English we think of the bare form as to cooperate.

So:

dictionary form: συνεργάζομαι
sentence form: συνεργαζόμαστε

Is Συνεργαζόμαστε πολύ καλά formal or informal?

It is neutral and natural in both spoken and written Greek.

It works well in:

everyday conversation
workplace contexts
emails
presentations

It is neither slangy nor overly formal, so it is a very useful sentence pattern to know.
