Exactly!

Thank you ☺️

Yes they are declinable!

You cannot! You could understand from the context!

@@iggo45 Useful very much. Ευχαριστώ πολύ.

Correct!

There will be a lesson about the plural soon! Genitive shows the owning of something!

Pluralizing of objects is making one object two or more. This is in Grammar the Singular (one) or Plural (many) Number. Παιδί Παιδιά in your example is just that. The number of children. On the other hand Cases are something different. Nominative is the case when we refer to the object directly: Ο ουρανός (ενικός) είναι γαλάζιος. The sky (singular) is blue Genitive is the case when we refer to an object belonging to something else. In this case our object is in nominative and the something else is in genitive form: Το σύννεφο (ενικός) του ουρανού. (ενικός). The cloud (singular) of the sky. (singular) There are another two cases, accusative and vocative. I believe in next lessons teacher is going to teach them. So the number of word (one or many) is not the same thing with the case of the word the frame or the status or what we are doing we the speakers to this word. Try this: Singular object "dog" in nominative genitive accusative vocative case O σκύλος είναι μαύρος The dog is black Το φαγητό του σκύλου Dog's food Φωνάζω τον σκύλο I call the dog Σκύλε έλα ! Dog come ! Plural objects "dogs" in nominative genitive accusative vocative case Oι σκύλοι είναι μαύροι The dogs are black Το φαγητό των σκύλων Dogs's food Φωνάζω τους σκύλους I call the dogs Σκύλοι ελάτε ! Dogs come ! Now this is an example with a masculine word σκύλος dog. Try your self to replace the masculine dog σκύλος 🐕 with the feminine cat γάτα 🐈 and the neutral bird πουλί 🐦 Come on ! How you say the cat is black ? 🤓🙃🙂☺️😊

Το βράδυ του Σαββάτου. You still need the article

Tricked by βασίλης παπακωνσταντίνου 🤦‍♂ @@greeklessonsonlinevideos

Both!

Yes, most of the times.

Των is an article. It is genitive case used for possession in the plural. Το σπίτι των φίλων. Το βιβλίο των παιδιών. Τους is an article in accusative plural. Βλέπω τους φίλους. Αγαπάω τους ανθρώπους. Τους is also a personal pronoun. Τους βλέπω. Τους αγαπάω.

@@greeklessonsonlinevideos But can't τους also be used for possession? Ο φίλος τους.

Yes you are right. It is a possessive pronoun as well. We put it always after the noun.

Όχι είναι άρθρο ! Απλά μοιάζουν! Το άρθρο πάει μπροστά από το ουσιαστικό: Το βιβλίο της Μαρίας. Το σπίτι του Νίκου. Η αντωνυμία πάει μετά το ουσιαστικό: Το βιβλίο της. Το σπίτι του.

@@greeklessonsonlinevideos απλά δηλώνει κτήση του βιβλίου τότε Ευχαριστω
