Articles
In Greek, articles are used to define the gender, number, and case of a noun. Just like in English, where we have "the" (definite article) and "a/an" (indefinite article), Greek has both definite and indefinite articles. Greek articles change depending on the gender (masculine, feminine, or neuter), number (singular or plural), and case (nominative, genitive, or accusative) of the noun they refer to.
Definite Articles
The definite article in Greek, equivalent to "the" in English, has different forms based on gender and number.
| Gender | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| Masculine | ο (o) | οι (i) |
| Feminine | η (i) | οι (i) |
| Neuter | το (to) | τα (ta) |
Examples:
- Ο άντρας (o ántras) – The man
- Η γυναίκα (i yinéka) – The woman
- Το παιδί (to paidí) – The child
Indefinite Articles
The indefinite article, which corresponds to "a" or "an" in English, also changes based on the gender of the noun but does not have plural forms (since "a" cannot be plural).
| Gender | Singular |
|---|---|
| Masculine | ένας (énas) |
| Feminine | μία (mía) |
| Neuter | ένα (éna) |
Examples:
- Ένας άντρας (énas ántras) – A man
- Μία γυναίκα (mía yinéka) – A woman
- Ένα παιδί (éna paidí) – A child
Articles and Cases
Greek nouns and their articles change depending on their grammatical case: nominative (for subjects), genitive (for possession), and accusative (for direct objects). The article will change to match the case of the noun:
- Nominative: ο άντρας (the man)
- Genitive: του άντρα (of the man)
- Accusative: τον άντρα (the man, as the object)
