Re: κρινεῖ - Future Liquid Active Formation

Thank you for the clarification. Does this same logic apply with noun case endings?

He breaks those out in a similar fashion. I.e, he says the 2nd declension masc nom sg case ending is ς not ος.

Re: κρινεῖ - Future Liquid Active Formation

I though that ε was the connecting vowel and ι was the personal ending. Are these two viewed as the personal ending when combined? What you posted makes sense I am just confused because mounce has it broken out as separate: Future active tense stem + tense formative (εσ) + connecting vowel (ο/ε) + p...

κρινεῖ - Future Liquid Active Formation

Mounce states that to create a future liquid active indicative you have the following: Future active tense stem + tense formative (εσ) + connecting vowel (ο/ε) + primary active personal ending. The example he gives is μεν + εσ + μεν > μενοῦμεν. When I try to apply this logic to κριν which is a liqui...

Determining Tense of a Verb

Hello all, I am on chapter 20 of mounces basics of biblical greek and for the first time I have hit a wall. Mounce discusses that tense stems are formed from a tesnse root. For example λυ is the root with λυω the present and λυσω being the future. He states there are 4 patterns of roots. Pattern one...

Re: Lexicon Entries

So would the 3rd declension stem be the form of the word with ου or the form of the word without ου? Ie, do I remove the ου to get the 3rd declension stem? If the genitive is ends in -ου, it’s not going to be 3rd declension, but almost always 2nd declension except for 1st declension masculine nouns...

Re: Lexicon Entries

The genitive singular form is what best shows you the stem of a noun. If you remove the genitive ending (whatever declension) you’ll get the stem. For first and second declension nouns, this is usually no big deal, but for third declension nouns the stem is not always apparent from the nominative f...

Re: Lexicon Entries

Can you please explain what is meant by the genitive helping on third declension nouns? This is where I am getting lost. How does having the genitive form help?

Lexicon Entries

I was watching a YouTube video on how to read a Greek Lexicon entry. They stated that the -ου next to a word was its genitive singular form and this was to help with third declension parsing. Once example they gave is below πλοῖον, ου, τό (Aeschyl., Hdt.+; esp. freq. in later times, when ναῦς [in ou...
