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?

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.

Greek songs that became international hits are more than you might imagine. In fact, many world-famous melodies were originally written by Greek composers. This is something that few people realize today.
If you have visited Greece or followed our blog at Omilo, you already know that music plays a central role in Greek life. Greeks sing in moments of joy and celebration, but also in times of sorrow. Music is not just entertainment, it is a way to express emotions, tell stories, and connect with others.
Greek music offers an incredible variety of styles. There are traditional folk songs, the soulful sounds of rebetiko, popular laika songs, artistic entexna music, as well as modern rock and pop. This rich musical heritage has not only shaped Greek culture, but has also influenced audiences far beyond the Greek borders.
Let’s discover some Greek songs and composers whose music traveled around the world and became international successes.
Learn the Greek verb “I can”, I could…and start making sentences!

etc..
