Learn the Greek verb “to sleep” in Greek + Video

How to say “I sleep”, I slept…or I will go to sleep,
in Greek?

Speaking Greek correctly, without knowing how to conjugate a verb, is impossible.
Every sentence has a verb, so one of the most important grammar aspects when you learn Greek, is ….learning verbs!

The verb Κοιμάμαι is conjugated like the verbs

λυπάμαι (I am sorry/ I am sad),
θυμάμαι (I remember),
φοβάμαι (I am afraid/ scared),

and you can also find those verbs in our YouTube language videos list.

So those verbs actually belong to the “passive verb” category.

Not sure what the difference is between an active and passive verb?
Then click here for more explanations

Good news!
Only these 4 verbs belong to this B2 category, so  verbs ending on -άμαι .
The conjugation of those 4 verbs therefore is the same.
