Elementary Greek Grammar The CD Rom
teaches much more grammar and more complex sentence structure.
The first bit of Greek grammar to learn is that all nouns, or
things, whether living or non-living, are either masculine, feminine, or
neuter. For this grammar exercise, all nouns are
FEMININE. On the actual CD Rom course, we teach you how
to remember the gender of each noun.
1. If the noun is feminine, then the word
for THE is EE.
So, EE PAPYA
is THE DUCK Try to remember the little girl
saying "HEE HEE".
2. The Greek word for IS is EENAH. For example, EE PAPYA EENAH is
THE DUCK IS.
3. Adjectives like
KOKEENOH(red), EESEEHOH(quiet), and
MIKROH (small) change their endings according to the
gender of the noun that they go with. For
example:
THE DUCK IS
SMALL is EE PAPYA EENAH
MIKREE (the letters 'OH' in MIKROH change to the letters
'EE' to reflect the feminine noun).
You are now
ready to begin constructing simple sentences with the words that you have
