"The worker eats two eggs a day."

Translation: Ο εργάτης τρώει δύο αυγά ανά ημέρα.

[simon352104]

the phrase "a day" in English should also include the translation "κάθε μέρα" in this example, or no?

[D_..]

Given that there is better word-for-word matching I'd say no. In this context, I do this:

per day = ανά ημέρα

a day = τη μέρα / την ημέρα

every day = κάθε μέρα

[fotiosgaridis]

I agree. In this context doesn't suit to use κάθε μέρα.

Ο εργαζόμενος τρώει δύο αυγά την ημέρα. it is correct

[B0vJ3]

why is wrong "Ο εργάτης τρώει δύο αβγα τη μέρα

[troll1995]

It's correct and added now as a possible translation. Thanks

I don't understand why "μία φορά την ημέρα" but "δύο αυγά ανά ημέρα". Maybe the meaning of both ("tin" and "ana") is similar?

[jaye16]

Are you asking if both translations are correct? If so yes they are both correct.

[Jack845366]

A different question to those above. Why is ο εργάτης φάει.... Not acceptable? Can 'φάει' not be used in this context?

[fotiosgaridis]

The verb τρώω is irregular and φάει is the subjunctive form of the verb, hence it’s wrong. Plus φάει cannot be used without να/θα or the auxiliary verb έχω. See here the conjugation of τρώω: https://moderngreekverbs.com/troo.html
