Translation Help please:περíμενε
by Guest User - Friday, 9 September 2005, 01:00 PM
  Hello,

I started to learn greek ~2 months ago and stumbled across the "easy reading" books which I try to read now with the help of my dictionary. But I failed already with the first line smile

It says: ο άντρασ περίμενε μέχρι που ...

I only know περιμένω and I cannot find something like περίμενω

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask such a question...

Thanks in advance,
Christian

  a) It's one of the right boards to ask this kind of question
b) περίμενε IS the past tense but only for 3rd person singular. It can also bee two other things but I don't want to confuse you early on smile

Cheers,
