Demonstrative Pronoun Usage Usually in predicate position when modifying

noun; article is always present with noun

ou[toj o9 dou=loj agaqo/j e0stin.

This slave is good.

Attributive demonstrative indicates contempt


More on Attributive Position The good word

o9 a0gaqo\j lo/goj o9 a0gaqo\j o9 lo/goj

The key to recognizing the attributive position: the adjective immediately follows the definite article


More on Predicate Position In Greek the linking verb is often

omitted when the adjective is nominative and is in the predicate position (not immediately following the definite article)

The word is good

o9 lo/goj a0gaqo\j a0gaqo\j o9 lo/goj


Demonstrative Pronoun Usage cont.

When used alone, the demonstrative pronoun implies a noun of the appropriate gender

ou[toj h0ga/rase ploi=on. This man bought a boat.


Prepositions with two cases Important: prepositions are governed

by the cases, not (as your text has) vice versa: The noun controls the preposition

The 8 case system handles prepositions quite nicely; the text is wrong when saying basic case meaning isn’t adhered to


Making Adverbs

We do this in English:swift becomes swiftly

To do the same in Greek, change the genitive masculine plural form’s final

n to a j Example:

tuflwn becomes tuflwj


Neuter Plural Subjects

Occasionally, a singular verb will take a neuter plural subject

ta\ ploi=a e0n ta=| kw/mh| e0sti/n.

The boats are in the village.


Article Use with Abstractions

Greek will often include the article with concepts or abstractions – in English we leave the article out

h9 a0ga/ph sw/|zei h9ma=j.

Love saves us.


Anarthrous Nouns in Prepositional Phrases

Often the article is omitted with the definite noun in a prepositional phrase

e0n a0rxh=|… In the beginning…


me/n … de/ “on the one hand” … “on the other” Contrasts two things These are postpositive
