"Do you eat soup?"

Translation: Τρως σούπα;

[franklakatos]

I am confused why this means "Do you eat soup?" and not "You eat soup." How do we tell the difference.

Maybe the only difference is adding a "?" at the end, but since we didn't formally go over how to state a question, and there was no way to add a "?" for this exercise, I was just confused.

Let me know, ευχαριστώ

It is Duo's method that we sometimes have to learn by trial and error. This program uses sort of a "natural" method, similar to a way children learns their own language--they hear it and try to copy the examples they hear and mess up and try new things and get corrected and try again :) So we didn't know how to do questions before, but now we do! :)

The question mark looks like our semicolon ; But I forgot and typed an English ? and it was counted "almost correct." :)

It's because the greek language uses ; as a question mark instead of ?

Why is it <<τρως>> instead of τρωει?

[D_..]

Τρώει is the third person singular. Check the verb conjugation here or here.

[Waleria187168]

why τρως insted of τρώς? does the second person always loose the accent?

[jaye16]

ONE SYLLABLE words do not have accents. (there are very few exceptions)
