Thank you so much 💕

Merci beaucoup 🙂

Ευχαριστώ πολύ! ☺️

I am so happy 😊

You put the -ν when the next word starts with a vowel or the consonants κ, π, τ , ξ, ψ, μπ, ντ, γκ, τσ, τζ.

Καλημέρα Μάριο! Thank you so much for your kind words! It is a very interesting idea! Please let me think about it, how I could structure a lesson about culture and tradition! Hopefully I will upload a lesson soon 😊

True! We put the -ν if the next word starts with a vowel or κ,π,τ,ξ,ψ,μπ,ντ,γκ,τσ,τζ :)

I am planning to make some more lessons, including the plural nominative & accusative!!

@@greeklessonsonlinevideos καταπληκτικό!

-ν is necessary when the next word starts with κ,π,τ,ξ,ψ,μπ,ντ,γκ,τσ,τζ and all the vowels

Yes four cases 🙂

Hi! It is a preposition (in, at, to) in front of nouns and adjectives and a personal pronoun (you) in front of the verbs!!

Efcharisto para poli! Wow that was a quick reply! Great I thought it was also a personal pronoun. Just checking that :)

@@22poopoo παρακαλώ :)

I am wondering the same thing.

We drop the final ν when the next word starts with a vowel or κ,π,τ ξ,ψ μπ,ντ,γκ,τσ,τζ

These will be 2 independent lessons that I will make in the future. It would be overwhelming to teach singular and plural form in one lesson! Kind regards

Hi Christopher, in English the words don't change form. In Greek each word has 8 different forms according to the syntax. Kind regards

@@greeklessonsonlinevideos English has both direct and indirect objects. I believe you are referring to case endings, no?

Yes and this specific part of grammar makes greek language very complicated for the English speakers. It takes long time and practice until you master it

The 99% of the prepositions take accusative. There only a few that need genitive!

@@greeklessonsonlinevideos Thank you very much! :)

Yes. Τα λουλούδια είναι για τη μαμά μου

@@greeklessonsonlinevideos 🙏 thank you!

The final -ν will be in use when the next word starts with a vowel or κ, π, τ, ξ, ψ, μπ, ντ, γκ, τσ, τζ

The verb to be is an exception to the rule because it doesn't take an object. The word doctor will be in nominative

@@greeklessonsonlinevideos hi, I'm teaching greek, and was gonna say that this is a good exception to talk about. Also, it's kind of interesting to me that the articles aren't used after 'to be': Ο Νίκος είναι γιατρός. And not: *Ο Νίκος είναι ο γιατρός. (Or well, you could say it but the meaning changes. The first sentence means 'Nikos is a doctor', qnd the second means more or less 'It is Nikos who is the doctor' (it is emphasising the noun). Do you agree with that or do you have other explanations to it? Also, could you please explain, if you have time, why the proffesions don't take an article after the verb 'to be', and why they do take an article when being the subject (Ο γιατρός μου είπε...)? Thank you for this lesson, you are helping teachers also 😊

It's a foreign word and most of them are in neutral.

Την = τη We put the final ν according to the first letter of the next word.

@@greeklessonsonlinevideos Hi! My question is about Tην and τη. I've read your answer to the comment. What do you mean by 'We put the final v according to the first letter of the word'? Is there a rule? I love watching your videos, by the way. Very informative and really clear explanations.

Yes, the grammar rule says that we put the final ν when the next word starts with a vowel or κ,π,τ,ξ,ψ,μπ,ντ,γκ,τσ,τζ

Actually, I found the answer reading through your replies to some other comments. But that happened only after I'd posted my question. Sorry about that. I see that not only are your lessons very good, but you also take the time to answer lots of people's comments. That's great. Being a language teacher myself, I think you're a model to follow. Thank you so much ❤️

Thank you so much for your kind comments 😊🙏🏽

You have understood correct. The feminine nouns stay the same in the accusative singular.

We put the -ν when the next word starts with a vowel OR κ, π, τ, ξ, ψ, μπ, ντ, γκ, τσ, τζ. However we don't apply always the rule!!! We prefer to use more the -ν rather than skip it :)

Προς is towards. It shows direction. Με means with.

We put the final ν when the next word starts with a vowel or with the consonants κ,π,τ,ξ,ψ,μπ,ντ,γκ,τσ,τζ

@@greeklessonsonlinevideos ok thank you!

Please check my video about the plural forms 😊

The final -ν is used when the next word starts with a vowel OR κ , π, τ, ξ, ψ, μπ, ντ, γκ, τσ, τζ

Both ! Την = τη

@@greeklessonsonlinevideos ok, thank you

Yes

ok thank you

You will put the -ν at the end when the next word starts with a vowel OR μπ, ντ, γκ, τσ, τζ, κ, π, τ, ξ, ψ. You can survive without this rule. The greeks don't apply it when they speak or write!

@@greeklessonsonlinevideos ευχαριστώ 😊

Παρακαλώ!!

Same thing! No difference!

use always "την" this is the real word...

We put the final ν when the next word starts with a vowel or κ π τ ξ ψ μπ ντ γκ τσ τζ

Accusative is the form of the nouns as an object or after the prepositions. It is a different form than the original

@@greeklessonsonlinevideos Thanks . Are your lessons in any particular order? I find it them hard to find again when I want to go back and check something or for revision? Are they numbered? My main problem is what to learn next!

@@Sam_Green____4114 they are not numbered but you can follow the order that I have in the playlists! It is a good order to follow!

What is the "Koine"?

@@mohammadm.o3622 Koine Greek; 325 B.C. to (about) 350 A.D. Greek as spread by the troops of Alexander the Great.

@@christopherskipp1525 Then do you mean the old Greek? or something.

@@mohammadm.o3622 If you think that Greek spoken in New Testament times (about 2,000 yrs. ago) is old, well, yes I suppose we can call it old Greek.

Modern Greek

I am sorry to hear that. Could you explain your difficulty? I might be able to make some things more clear for you.

Το λουλούδι - τα λουλούδια This is the plural form of the neutral
