    I am also greek and it does make sense, although I do not believe that the latin phrase you mention is correct.

    It is in the context of "I want to have you to...", isn't it? (you is an object)

    Then, in modern greek,

    "εσένα να αγαπώ, να εμπιστεύομαι"

    (esse/na na agapo/, na ebiste/vome, all e-s like a in lay, all i-s like y in lay, all o-s like o in boy, /-s is where the stress goes, g is soft, as a y) and

    "εσένα να αγαπώ, να κρατώ/να έχω"

    (...na krato/, na ehho)

    However, if it is in a context where "you" is a subject, like "it is up to you to love"... then the part from "to love" and on is

    "να αγαπάς, να εμπιστεύεσαι ...να κρατάς/να έχεις"

    (na agapass, na ebistevesse ...na kratass, na ehhiss)

    In ancient greek, "to love"="φιλείν"=(phili/n, infinitive)

    ok the you to love, to trust", in greek means: esi na agapas kena embistebese

    and now "you to love, to hold" means: esi na agapas kena perimenis
