Re: καταλειψαντας

Re: Word order John 7:42 what does τῆς κώμης... go with?

Re: Hi everyone!
Χαῖρε, Welcome! Also be aware that the NT was written in ancient (Koine) Greek, and not modern Greek. Quite a bit of difference, so make sure that the texts and other resources you get to support your study are specifically for Koine (or you could start with Classical...)

Re: ηνοιγη in passive (Acts 12:10, Revelation 15:5)
While there are different perspectives on how to go about t, this is why it is always good to know the principal parts of your verbs. And yes, Greek has a lot of irregular formations (they may not be irregular in fact, but the formation does something unexpected and starts quacking like a duck...). ...

Re: Introduction
Finally, I would also suggest that you consider switching to either modern pronunciation or to the reconstructed pronunciation of Randall Buth. They are quite close to each other, and you can easily relate to one from the other. Both are almost certainly way closer to the actual sound of 1st centur...
