παγωτό; (ποιος; →εσύ)
Θέλε
τε
παγωτό; (ποιος; →εσείς)
In Modern Greek, simple sentences do not
normally take a subject pronoun since the
person is denoted by the ending of the verb.
In this case εγώ is not mentioned because it
is denoted by the ending -ω.
Similarly:
(see syntactic functions). We only use the
emphatic pronouns in order to emphasize
or show contrast:
Εσύ γιατί δεν μιλάς;
εγώ
singular
b. Ονομαστική (Nominative)
Τελικά, ο Σαχίνης έδωσε τον
υπολογιστή του στην Αγκάθα;
Ναι, της τον έδωσε τελικά, γιατί ήταν αργός
• With verbs taking two objects
(ditransitive) the pronouns can substitute
both objects but they must be placed in a
strict order: indirect / direct / verb.
