Subjunctive[edit | edit source]
The subjunctive has two forms according to the aspect being perfective or imperfective:
Perfective Aspect:
| να καλέσω | να καλέσουμε |
| να καλέσεις | να καλέσετε |
| να καλέσει | να καλέσουν |
The perfective aspect uses the aorist stem, which can be one of -ησ-,-ασ-,-εσ.
Imperfective Aspect:
| να καλώ | να καλούμε |
| να καλείς | να καλείτε |
| να καλεί | να καλούν |
The imperfective subjunctive is conjugated exactly like the present tense (with the addition of να)
Examples:
| Θέλω να σε καλέσω στα γενέθλιά μου φέτος | I want to invite you to my birthday (party) this year. (perfective) |
| Πρέπει να με καλείς κάθε χρόνο, όχι μόνο φέτος | You should invite me every year, not only this year. (imperfective) |
