Αντί να + υποτακτική
Use αντί να + a verb in the subjunctive to contrast an expected or possible action with the action actually taken. It is a concise way to say “instead of doing X, do Y.” Example: «Αντί να απογοητευτώ, αποφάσισα να δράσω.» This means “Instead of getting discouraged, I decided to act.” It is useful in reflective, argumentative, and narrative writing when you want to show a deliberate choice against a likely response.
Αντί να απογοητευτώ, αποφάσισα να δράσω.
Instead of getting discouraged, I decided to act.
