Let's look at the dialogue. |
Imagine two men who are sitting next to each other on a plane and start talking. |
Let's see how this dialogue goes. |
Είστε φοιτητής; |
(íste fititís?) |
Are you a student? |
Όχι, δεν είμαι φοιτητής. Είμαι επενδυτής. |
(Óhi, den íme fititís. íme ependitís.) |
No, I'm not a student. I'm an investor. |
As you might have noticed, there are two different sentence patterns here. |
One for stating what you are and another for what you are not. |
Let's focus on how to express what you do. |
Είμαι [OCCUPATION]. |
(Íme [OCCUPATION].) |
I’m a(n) [OCCUPATION]. |
Now, Let's look at some other examples. |
Είμαι δάσκαλος. |
(Íme dáskalos.) |
I'm a teacher. |
