"Κοιτάζουν τα ζώα."

Translation: They are looking at the animals.

[Lng52-._]

"κοιτούν" is 3rd person plural. Could you use this instead of "κοιτάζουν"?

[troll1995]

Yes :) EDIT: this one has many forms, actually:κοιτούν /
κοιτάζουν/
κοιτούνε /
κοιτάζουνε /
κοιτάν /
κοιτάνε

[MattHaythem]

Are there many other verbs like this?

[troll1995]

Actually, there are many verbs in Greek that have many forms in some persons. This one has a "peculiarity", though. The same verb has two distinct versions. There is κοιτάω-κοιτώ and there is κοιτάζω. So, all persons have at least two forms, and some (as the 3rd person plural above) has many more.

[trezost]

yes, you could, but I think "κοιτάζουν" is more common

[DashAlex22]

Is there any significant difference between βλέπω and κοιτάζω?

[troll1995]

Βλέπω means "see" whereas Κοιτάζω means "look at". The difference is the same as in English.

[Nikos48739]

They look at animals should be ok surely?

[D_..]

Your answer is missing the 'the' before 'animals'. ;)

To expand this exercise, how would I say, "looking for the animals"
Κοιτάζουν για τα ζώα maybe?

No.

"look for" means to seek or search for; Greek has a separate verb for this, ψάχνω.

So "They are looking for the animals" would be Ψάχνουν τα ζώα.

Ok, thank you
I guess Duo will teach this later on!
