In Modern Greek, the subject of a sentence can often be omitted because the language utilizes a highly developed inflectional system.

Specifically, the verb is inflected for person (first, second, and third) and number (singular and plural). Because these personal endings explicitly indicate who is performing the action, the inclusion of a separate subject pronoun is often redundant and unnecessary for clarity. This feature allows for flexible word order and makes the language a "pro-drop" language, similar to Italian.1
