Questions & Answers about Ρύθμισε εστίαση, ταχύτητα κλείστρου και βάθος πεδίου.
What does Ρύθμισε mean here, and what grammatical form is it?
Ρύθμισε is the imperative form of the verb ρυθμίζω, which means to adjust, to set, or to regulate.
In this sentence, Ρύθμισε means something like:
- Set
- Adjust
More specifically, it is the 2nd person singular aorist imperative. That sounds technical, but the practical meaning is simple: it is a command to one person, often with the sense of do this / set this now.
So:
- Ρύθμισε = Set! / Adjust! (to one person)
A very common contrast is:
- Ρύθμισε = singular command
- Ρυθμίστε = plural command, or polite singular command
Why is Ρύθμισε singular? How would I say it to more than one person?
