όπου

Wherever or Where in a Relative Clause

Level 4Sounds Like ópou

Όπου introduces a place-relative clause without directly asking where.

How It Works

Όπου introduces a place-relative clause without directly asking where.

It differs from interrogative πού and general relative που. Depending on context it can mean where or wherever, while οπουδήποτε makes free choice more explicit.
