Re: Can a Case Change, Change Syllabification?

I imagine it's just that... he's actually talking about the accentuation of the word. Yes, it changes. ἔσχατος, ἐσχάτη, ἔσχατον The long vowel on the end of the word (eta η ) doesn't allow an accent any further back than on the second-to-last syllable. So, É-scha-tos has the accent shifted to e-SCH...

Re: Determining Genitive Masculine and Neuter, and Dative Plural Gender

Sorry, I mean genitive singular, masculine (οῦ) and neutor (οῦ). The articles for them are the same as well τοῦ. The articles on the example you gave are different even though the case ending is the same. With the genitive singular the articles and case ending are the same. Did you get the point th...

Re: Determining Genitive Masculine and Neuter, and Dative Plural Gender

How do you tell if a noun is genitive masculine or nominative neuter? They both have the same article before the noun and the same case ending on the noun. EDIT: Also, along this line, how do you tell what gender a dative plural is since all three have the same case ending (ων) and article (τῶν). A...

Re: Hello from South Africa

Don't wait any longer - start reading a bit of the GNT each day (just a verse or so). Read it aloud, even if you don't understand all the words. Then go over it and try to work out the meaning. Then put it aside and do your grammar study. Then finish up by reading the GNT verse again. Let it start t...

Re: Should πρὸ δὲ τούτων πάντων read "before all these things" or "above all these things"?

Compare with Matthew's version: [Matthew 24:9 NASB20] (9) "Then they will hand you over to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. But what I'm really asking about is the grammar. If all you are asking about is the grammar, here is a simple introducti...

Re: Another new guy, with a question

Hey all, just got here. I'm starting with Mounce's Basics but would like to add conversational Koine to my process. I've started to believe Olly Richard's talk about story-learning, and I'd like to find something to supplement my Mounce. If you're not familiar with Olly and story-learning, his basi...

Re: Alpha with Angela

Aleph with Beth has been very successful for Hebrew beginners who want to learn biblical Hebrew for free using a living language approach. There is now a parallel course for Greek. Looks promising.
