 | Το ρήμα «επιδιώκω» |
|
Hello, Does anyone know if there is a passive form for abovementioned verb? I found only «επιδιώκεται» as an impersonal form (of a passive verb?) Thanks in advance for your help Irene Droppert |

Irene.......If I understand your query and if I read my paradigms properly, the passive forms of επιδιώκω should be these: επιδιώκομαι επιδιώκεσαι επιδιώκεται επιδιωκόμαστε επιδιώκεστε επιδιώκονται But I have never heard or seen any of these though they might be of some help to you. (If they are right). Good wishes, Blake More |

This verb has passive forms επιδιώκομαι/επιδιώχθηκα, but it looks like only third person is used. The verb has meaning "to aim to do something", that's why it would be meaningless to use it in passive form other than third person (which means something is/are aimed to be done). Examples from greek dictionary: Στη σύνταξη του νομοσχεδίου επιδιώχθηκε η συνεργασία όλων των ενδιαφερομένων. Μέσα στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση μπορούν πλέον να επιδιωχθούν, ευρύτερα, λύσεις |

Thank you very much Nick, Your explanation helped me a lot. I was looking for the same conjugations as the verb «διδάσκω» and stumbled upon «επιδιώκω» for which I couldn't find the passive form. Irene |

Irene, I'm glad that my posted helped you. Regarding learning greek passive verb conjugation - it's rather tricky thing. I learnt it using a great online tutorial - http://ikindalikelanguages.com/labs/courses.php?id=58 You can also use this page - http://modern-greek-verbs.tripod.com/contents.html but it's only a reference, it doesn't explain anything. διδάσκω and επιδιώκω have the same paradigm of conjugation, you are right. |
