Q

Unfortunately, I don’t have much time because I still have a lot of work.

A

Δυστυχώς, Δεν έχω πολύ καιρό γιατί έχω πολλή δουλειά ακόμη.

πολλή δουλειά:
δουλειά is a feminine word and so the adjective takes on a feminine form.

πολύ καιρό:
here, the adjective is in the masculine form, since καιρό is a masculine word.

Q

A friend of mine is coming today.

A

or
Έρχεται ένας φίλος μου σήμερα.

note how the verb ends the same way as ‘χρειάζεται’ (he needs)

conjugation of to com

The remark about ‘χρειάζεται’ is made by the Pimsleur speaker. At this stage I can only assume that the two verbs belong to the same family in terms of how they conjugate.

I don’t think that you know her.

A

Δεν νομίζω.
Δεν νομίζω ότι την ξέρετε.

25
Q

Her name is Eleni Johnson.
She is Greek but her husband is American.

A

Τη λένε Ελένη Τζόνσον.
Είναι Ελληνίδα αλλά ο άντρας της είναι Αμερικανός.

26
Q

His name is Martin.
Martin Johnson? I know him well, but I don’t know his wife.

A

Τον λένε Μάρτιν.
Μάρτιν Τζόνσον; Τον ξέρω καλά, αλλά δεν ξέρω τη γυναίκα του.

27
Q

Martin is from Boston.

A

Ο Μάρτιν είναι από τη Βοστώνη.

In previous lessons, we have seen the word ‘από’ in sense of ‘since’, for example, ‘Είμαστε εδώ από χθες.’ (We are here since yesterday).
So this card introduces the word ‘από’ with an alternative meaning, i.e. ‘from’ (Boston, or wherever).

28
Q

Yes, my (female) colleague is Greek but her husband is from Boston.
They’re coming today.

A

Ναι, η συνάδελφος μου είναι Ελληνίδα αλλά ο άντρας της είναι από τη Βοστώνη.
Έρχονται σήμερα.

29
Q

My colleague is coming to visit me with her husband, and then she wants to go to Chania.

A

Η συνάδελφος μου έρχεται να με επισκεφτεί με τον άντρα της, και μετά θέλει να πάει στα Χανιά.
(Χανιά, oddly, is a neuter plural word - see explanation, below)

conjugations of 'to visit'

The plural form of town names in Greek, like Χανιά (Chania), can seem surprising compared to English, where they’re usually singular. There are several reasons for this difference:

  1. Historical Origins: Many Greek town names, including Chania, are derived from ancient Greek names ending in the plural suffix “-ια” (-ia). These were often based on the names of tribes or geographical features associated with the area. For example, Chania’s ancient name was Kydonia, believed to be related to the indigenous people who lived there.
  2. Grammatical Neutrality: In Greek, most toponyms (place names) ending in “-ια” are grammatically neuter regardless of their singular or plural form. This applies to both ancient and modern names. Therefore, even though Χανιά refers to a single location, it falls under the neuter plural declension class.
  3. Collective Meaning: The plural form of some town names can suggest a collective meaning, encompassing not just the physical space but also the inhabitants or the community as a whole. This adds a sense of identity and belonging to the place.
  4. Common Practice: Using the plural form for town names is simply a part of the established grammar and convention in Greek. It’s not unique to Chania and applies to numerous other towns and cities across the country.
30
Q

She wants to see a (male) friend there.

A

Θέλει να δει έναν φίλο εκεί.

31

(compare with card No.32)

37
Q

He is from Athens.

A

Είναι από την Αθήνα.

In previous lessons, we have seen the word ‘από’ in sense of ‘since’, for example, ‘Είμαστε εδώ από χθες.’ (We are here since yesterday).
In this card, the word ‘από’ has an alternative meaning, i.e. ‘from’ (Athens, or wherever).

declensions of the definite article

42
Q

Do you have time for a drink?

A

Έχετε καιρό για ένα ποτό;

In Greek, the word “ποτό” (potó) is a neuter noun. Neuter nouns typically have different forms for the nominative/accusative and genitive/dative cases, but “ποτό” remains the same in both cases.

A

Έχετε καιρό για ένα ποτό;

Δυστυχώς όχι.

50
Q

Unfortunately, I haven’t been to America yet.
