🇬🇷 The Greek prefix ξανά- = “again”

Want to say that you’re doing something again? Greek often adds ξανά- to the verb!

🔹 γράφω → ξαναγράφω = I write → I write again
🔹 βλέπω → ξαναβλέπω = I see → I see again
🔹 κάνω → ξανακάνω = I do → I do again
🔹 λέω → ξαναλέω = I say → I say again

And it can also mean doing something anew / once more:

ξαναρχίζω = I start again
ξαναγυρίζω = I return / go back again

💡 So when you see ξανά- at the beginning of a Greek verb, think:
👉 “again!”
Once you spot it, you’ll start noticing it everywhere. 🇬🇷
