Level 4Sounds Like ṓste ṓste na

Ώστε can introduce a result, while ώστε να commonly presents an intended, possible or consequent outcome.

How It Works

Ώστε can introduce a result, while ώστε να commonly presents an intended, possible or consequent outcome.

Interpretation depends on the surrounding clause; the presence of να does not by itself prove that the outcome occurred. An indicative result can explicitly report an actual consequence.
