Breakdown of Προτιμώ χρεωστική κάρτα, όχι πιστωτική κάρτα ή προπληρωμένη κάρτα.
Questions & Answers about Προτιμώ χρεωστική κάρτα, όχι πιστωτική κάρτα ή προπληρωμένη κάρτα.
Because Greek usually drops subject pronouns when they are not needed.
The verb Προτιμώ already means I prefer, so εγώ is unnecessary unless you want extra emphasis, contrast, or clarity.
- Προτιμώ χρεωστική κάρτα = I prefer a debit card
- Εγώ προτιμώ χρεωστική κάρτα = I prefer a debit card
The second version sounds more like contrast, as in I prefer debit card, but someone else may not.
Προτιμώ is the 1st person singular present tense of προτιμώ.
So it means:
- I prefer
- I am preferring in a general present sense
It is a very common verb for expressing preference.
If you want to sound more polite or softer, Greek often uses:
- Θα προτιμούσα... = I would prefer...
