"Ανοίγει σε λίγο."

[Lng52-._]

"σύντομα" = shortly and "σε λίγο" = in a while"

[Dimitra956826]

Yes. Soon also translates to σύντομα. For exp. "I'll see you soon." - "Θα σε δω σύντομα" ^.^

I tried, "He opens in a little." And that was wrong. Could this be a possible alternate translation? or am I misunderstanding the meaning?

[Dimitra956826]

Hm. I wonder. Is "in a little" used more often than let's say "in a little while"? "In a little" sounds a bit off to me, I don't hear it that much. It might be just me though. ^.^

[ZacTheShave]

I hear it quite a bit in the Northeast US. No worries if it doesn't sound right.

[Dimitra956826]

Ohkay then. It's been added, thank you. ^.^

[Litchic22]

Can it be - ανοίγει σε λίγο = it will open soon?

[Dimitra956826]

It would probably have the same meaning, but ανοίγει is Present (Ενεστώτας). Why translate it in Future when it just translates to Present? ^.^

[William80638]

i thought λίγο meant "little"? as in "small amount"?

«σε λίγο» transliterates as "to a bit"?

I'm asking just to help me remember.

[William80638]

actually, «σε λίγο» would just be "in a bit". I forgot what σε meant.
