σε + accusative
Σε for Place or Destination
Σε commonly marks location, destination or a recipient and takes an accusative phrase.
How It Works
Σε commonly marks location, destination or a recipient and takes an accusative phrase.
It is not limited to movement: both μένω σε ένα σπίτι and πάω σε ένα σπίτι use σε. With a definite article it normally forms contractions such as στο and στην.
