Σπουδάζει ιατρική στο πανεπιστήμιο.

Greek often drops the subject pronoun when it is clear from the verb ending.

In σπουδάζει, the ending -ει tells you the verb is third person singular, so the subject is understood as he, she, or sometimes it.

So Greek does not need to say αυτός or αυτή unless the speaker wants to emphasize the subject or avoid confusion.

It can mean either one. By itself, σπουδάζει is just third person singular.

So it can mean:

• he studies
• she studies
• in some contexts even it studies, though that is much less likely here

Usually the broader context tells you whether the person is male or female.

Σπουδάζει is the verb σπουδάζω in the present tense, third person singular.

It usually means:

• studies
• is studying

In this sentence, it refers to being a student in a field of study, not just casually reading or learning something.

So it fits very naturally with ιατρική.

In Greek, fields of study are often used without an article after verbs like σπουδάζω.

So:

• σπουδάζει ιατρική = studies medicine

This is similar to how English says study medicine, not usually study the medicine.

If you added the article, it could sound different or more specific depending on context. Without the article, it simply names the subject or discipline.

Here ιατρική means medicine as an academic subject or field of study.

It does not mean medical treatment in this sentence. It means the person is studying to become a doctor or is studying the discipline of medicine.

So this is the same kind of use as:

• σπουδάζει νομική = studies law
• σπουδάζει φυσική = studies physics

Στο is the normal contracted form of:

• σε + το = στο

So:

• στο πανεπιστήμιο = at the university or to the university, depending on context

In everyday Greek, these contractions are very common:

• στο = σε το
• στη = σε τη(ν)
• στην = σε την

So στο πανεπιστήμιο is the natural form.

It is in the accusative case, because the preposition σε normally takes the accusative.

However, with neuter singular nouns, the nominative and accusative often look the same. So:

• το πανεπιστήμιο can be nominative
• το πανεπιστήμιο can also be accusative

In this sentence, after στο, it is functioning as accusative.

They are doing different jobs in the sentence.

• ιατρική is the subject being studied, so Greek commonly uses it without an article
• στο πανεπιστήμιο refers to a place, and Greek very often uses the definite article with places in expressions like this

So the structure is normal:

• σπουδάζει ιατρική = studies medicine
• στο πανεπιστήμιο = at the university

Yes. Greek word order is more flexible than English word order.

The neutral order here is:

• Σπουδάζει ιατρική στο πανεπιστήμιο.

But you could also say:

• Στο πανεπιστήμιο σπουδάζει ιατρική.

That would put more emphasis on where the studying happens.

Even though word order can change, the original version sounds very natural and straightforward.

It is present tense, but Greek present tense often covers both:

• studies
• is studying

So depending on context, the sentence could mean either:

• a general fact: the person studies medicine
• a current situation: the person is studying medicine

Greek does not need a separate form here to express that difference.

A simple pronunciation guide is:

spou-DA-zee ya-tree-KEE sto pa-ne-pi-STEE-myo

Stress falls on:

• σπουδάζει
• ιατρική
• πανεπιστήμιο

A few helpful notes:

• σπ sounds like sp
• ου sounds like oo
• ει here sounds like ee
• στ sounds like st

Usually πανεπιστήμιο means university.

In English, some speakers might naturally translate it as at college in a general way, but the Greek word itself specifically refers to a university.

So the most direct translation is at the university.

Yes, but usually for emphasis, contrast, or clarity.

For example:

• Αυτή σπουδάζει ιατρική στο πανεπιστήμιο.

This would feel more like:

• She studies medicine at the university

The pronoun is not needed in the basic sentence, but it can be added when the speaker wants to highlight who the subject is.
