The Subjunctive Particle να (No Infinitive)

Greek has NO infinitive. Where English uses “to …” (“I want TO write”), Greek uses να + a fully conjugated verb that AGREES with the subject: θέλω να γράψω (“I want to write”, literally “I-want that I-write”). να most often takes the perfective stem for a single act (να γράψω) - the same dependent stem as the future. The single biggest surprise for English speakers: να is not “to”, and there is no infinitive to reach for.
