Questions & Answers about Δεν θέλω άλλον μπελά.

Why is there no word for I in this sentence?

Because Greek usually drops subject pronouns when the verb already shows who is doing the action.

• θέλω = I want
• So Δεν θέλω already means I don’t want

You could say Εγώ δεν θέλω... if you want extra emphasis on I, but normally it is not needed.

What does δεν do here?

Δεν is the normal word for not before a verb in Greek.

• θέλω = I want
• δεν θέλω = I do not want / I don’t want

It is the standard negation used with indicative verbs in everyday Greek.

Why is it άλλον and not άλλος or άλλο?
