Questions & Answers about Περιπλανιόμαστε στην ύπαιθρο και μετά κατασκηνώνουμε.
Why is there no separate word for we in this sentence?
Because Greek usually leaves subject pronouns out when the verb ending already shows the subject.
Both Περιπλανιόμαστε and κατασκηνώνουμε are 1st person plural forms, so we is already built in. You could add εμείς for emphasis or contrast, but it is not necessary.
So Greek naturally says:
Περιπλανιόμαστε ... και μετά κατασκηνώνουμε.
rather than explicitly saying Εμείς περιπλανιόμαστε ...
Why does Περιπλανιόμαστε look passive even though the meaning is active?
Because this verb is one of many Greek verbs that use middle/passive endings but have an active meaning.
Περιπλανιέμαι / Περιπλανιόμαστε means I wander / we wander, not I am wandered / we are wandered.
This kind of verb is often called deponent in grammar explanations. So the form looks middle/passive, but you translate it actively.
What does the ending -όμαστε tell me in Περιπλανιόμαστε?
