Introduction#

Modern Greek is the official language of the Hellenic Republic (Greece).

Grammar Fundamentals#

Gender#

There are three [[TODO|grammatical genders]] in Modern Greek - masculine ("αρσενικό"), feminine ("θηλυκό") and neuter ("ουδέτερο"). These are mostly distinct from the notions of "male" and "female". Gender is exhibited by [[Nouns|nouns]], [[Articles|articles]], [[Adjectives|adjectives]], [[TODO|participles]], some [[Pronouns|pronouns]] and some [[Numerals|numerals]].

Case#

Modern Greek has four [[TODO|cases]] - [[TODO|nominative]] (ονομαστική), [[TODO|genitive]] (γενική), [[TODO|accusative]] (αιτιατική) and [[TODO|vocative]] (κλητική). This [[TODO|grammatical category]] is exhibited by [[Nouns|nouns]], [[Articles|articles]], [[Adjectives|adjectives]], [[TODO|participles]], [[Pronouns|pronouns]] and some [[Numerals|numerals]].

Number#

There are two [[TODO|numbers]] in Modern Greek - singular (ενικός) and plural (πληθυντικός). This [[TODO|grammatical category]] is exhibited by [[Nouns|nouns]], [[Articles|articles]], [[Adjectives|adjectives]], [[TODO|participles]], [[Pronouns|pronouns]], [[Numerals|numerals]] and [[Verbs|verbs]].

Degree#

Modern Greek has four [[TODO|degrees of comparison]] - positive, comparative, relative superlative and absolute superlative. This [[TODO|grammatical category]] is exhibited only by [[Adjectives|adjectives]] and [[Adverbs|adverbs]].

Person#

Modern Greek has three [[TODO|persons]] - first, second and third. This [[TODO|grammatical category]] is exhibited by [[Verbs|verbs]] and [[Pronouns|pronouns]].
