Although the question is formed using the verb \u03ba\u03ac\u03bd\u03c9, we answer by “\u03b5\u03af\u03bc\u03b1\u03b9”. The verb can be omitted. (“\u03a4\u03b9 \u03ba\u03ac\u03bd\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2;” “\u039a\u03b1\u03bb\u03ac, \u03b5\u03c5\u03c7\u03b1\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03ce”)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
