L 8 (Save; Don't study; Adjectives)

Question 1

How to recognize the intensive use of αὐτός

Answer 1

1) adjectival
2) αὐτός stands in the predicate position with a noun and is translated “-self” or “-selves.” (article noun αὐτός ; or αὐτός article noun)
Though sometimes the translation is “that very” οἱ υἱοί μου μένουσιν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ αὐτῷ. My sons are staying in that very house.
3) The number and gender of the accompanying noun determine the exact translation
4) Thus: αὐτὸς ὁ ἄνθρωπος, “the man himself”
; αὐτὴ ἡ ἀδελφή, “the sister herself”; αὐτὸ τὸ ἔργον, “the deed itself”; οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοί, “the sons themselves.”
In some constructions the translation “very” or “that very” may be suitable: ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ, “in that very hour.”
