Προηγούμαι μόνο με έναν πόντο.

Yes. Προηγούμαι means I am ahead / I am leading.

It comes from the verb προηγούμαι, which is used when someone is in front in:

• a game
• a race
• a competition
• rankings or standings

So Προηγούμαι μόνο με έναν πόντο is a very natural way to say that you are ahead by a very small margin.

It does look like a passive or middle-passive form, because many Greek verbs ending in -μαι belong to that set of endings. But in Modern Greek, some verbs have middle/passive-type forms with active meaning.

So here:

• προηγούμαι = I lead / I am ahead
• it is not passive in meaning

This is something English speakers often just have to learn as part of the verb. A good approach is to memorize προηγούμαι as a complete unit meaning I’m in the lead.

μόνο means only / just.

In this sentence, it modifies the phrase με έναν πόντο:

• Προηγούμαι μόνο με έναν πόντο = I’m leading only by one point
• in more natural English: I’m leading by only one point

Greek often places μόνο before the element it emphasizes, but word order is somewhat flexible.

These are all possible, with slightly different emphasis:

• Προηγούμαι μόνο με έναν πόντο = I’m leading only by one point
• Μόνο με έναν πόντο προηγούμαι = It’s only by one point that I’m ahead
• Προηγούμαι με μόνο έναν πόντο = also understandable, though less standard in tone

The given version is very natural.

Yes, με literally often means with, but in this kind of expression it means by in English.

So:

• με έναν πόντο = by one point

Greek commonly uses με to show the amount of difference when someone is ahead or behind:

• Κερδίσαμε με δύο γκολ. = We won by two goals.
• Προηγείται με πέντε μονάδες. = He/She is leading by five points.

So even though με usually translates as with, here the natural English translation is by.

Because με takes the accusative case, not the nominative.

The noun πόντος is masculine, so:

• nominative: ένας πόντος = one point
• accusative: έναν πόντο = one point (as the object after με)

So:

• με έναν πόντο is correct
• με ένας πόντος would be wrong

This is a very common Greek pattern:

• με έναν φίλο = with a friend
• με έναν τρόπο = in one way / with one method
• με έναν πόντο = by one point

Here πόντο means point, as in a score or margin in a game or competition.

Singular:

• ο πόντος = the point

Accusative singular:

• τον πόντο

After έναν:

• έναν πόντο

It is commonly used in sports, quizzes, contests, and scorekeeping.

Examples:

• Έχω δέκα πόντους. = I have ten points.
• Κέρδισε με έναν πόντο. = He/She won by one point.

Depending on the context, Greek can also use other words like βαθμός / βαθμοί, but πόντος is very common for game scores and point differences.

Normally, no. If you mean by one point, you should say:

• με έναν πόντο

Without έναν, the phrase sounds incomplete or unnatural in this context.

Greek usually includes the numeral/article here when specifying the exact amount:

• με δύο πόντους = by two points
• με τρεις πόντους = by three points
• με έναν πόντο = by one point

Mostly in competitive contexts, yes.

It sounds especially natural in:

• sports
• games
• quizzes
• elections
• rankings
• any situation with measurable scores

For example:

• a basketball game
• a TV contest
• a poll or vote count

If the context is more general, Greek might use different wording depending on what kind of lead you mean. But for score-based or measurable competition, this sentence is very natural.

Yes. In fact, it usually is omitted unless you want emphasis.

Greek verbs already show the person and number. So:

• Προηγούμαι already means I am leading

You could add εγώ for emphasis:

• Εγώ προηγούμαι μόνο με έναν πόντο. = I’m the one who’s leading, but only by one point.

But without special emphasis, the version without εγώ is more natural.

You keep the same structure and change the number and noun form:

• Προηγούμαι με έναν πόντο. = I’m leading by one point.
• Προηγούμαι με δύο πόντους. = I’m leading by two points.
• Προηγούμαι με τρεις πόντους. = I’m leading by three points.
• Προηγούμαι με δέκα πόντους. = I’m leading by ten points.

Notice:

• έναν πόντο = singular
• δύο / τρεις / δέκα πόντους = plural accusative

If you want to keep only:

• Προηγούμαι μόνο με δύο πόντους.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

pro-ee-GOO-me MO-no me EH-nan PON-do

A few helpful notes:

• γ before ο here sounds like a soft voiced sound, close to the gh in some pronunciations of ugh, but many learners approximate it as a soft g
• αι in -μαι sounds like e
• ντ in πόντο is often pronounced like nd

So πόντο may sound close to PON-do.

If you want to sound natural, put the main stress on:

• -γού- in προηγούμαι
• μό- in μόνο
• έ- in έναν
• πόν- in πόντο
