Naturally the pronunciation has altered, in the course of time. But nobody can know what classical ‘Greek sounded like, and there is no reason to suppose that the language sounded any “better” then than it does Sidents of Greck must lear to read and write the siplubet as quickly a8 posible. ‘This 8 by no. means Pica te tagat spclon Aine al Ao vats ty tasy to makes and wien once you have leant te phonetic ‘aloes of the letters, you ean read the writen language Automatically, bratee the speling i logial and alnaye Deserves thote same values Th order to give you a startingpoint, the Greek orho- raphy inthis chaprr in accompanied by asinpletansp- fon iato Roman leer; and the sounds are deserbed in dea, wath reference to ther nearest Englsh equivalents, The lees ofthis transcription are alvays eased iin fare brakes,” Of eoure, this method eannot tell you tural enough what the qual of the sounds is ke.

Grammar studies and describes these ways; and ‘when we learn the grammar ofa foreign language, we shall fncvitaby find a contrast between its Ways of using words and the ways of English. ‘The frst thing to notice about Greek is that it possesses ‘more variable words than English. Variable words are those whose form is changed according to their function ina sentence, This change is usually called inflexion, and ‘most often involves the use of different endings. English uses fewer inflesions, and relies more on other means of discrimination, such as word-order and the use of structural features like 10 and of. For example, in the sentences the doctor came and he saw the doctor, the Greek word for doctor (ywarods) has a different ending in each phrase. The doctor came is 6 yargds fod, while he saw the doctor is elBe 16 yarpd. This significant variation of the endings allows more freedom of word-order in Greek. Thus, the doctor came might also be Hole 6 yiareds. In Greek, variable words include nouas, pronouns, adjectives and verbs. Invariable words include preposi: tions, conjunctions, particles, ete. ‘Changes in the form of nouns are used to denote gender, ‘number (singular or plural) and case (as ia English / or me, ‘who oF whose). In pronouns they denote gender, number, case and person (J, you or he). In adjectives they denote gender, number, case and degree (big, bigger, biggest). In verbs they denote number, person and time, 2 NOUNS Greck nouns are divided into three classes or genders, which may be termed M, F and N, as these classes are also called masculine, feminine and nouter.* M nouns are those which ean be preceded by the article 4,e8, 6 dofgonos, the man; 6 zarégas, the father; & Fudge, John. Their indeinite article is &es, eg. fas dGoues, a man; fas sos, a garden, buns are tne dc canbe preceded bythe aro 4, eo ndgra, the door; i Coy life; porate, the ‘Their indefinite article is wud, og. pad yoruba, a woman; jd forooia, a story. 1N nouns are those which can be preceded by the article 14, ©. 16 yoapeio, the office; x6 maid, the child; 26 pada, the bat. ‘Their indefinite article is a Bonde, a room. fra, eg. ra andl a child; Nouns are divided into the following main sub-lasses ‘according to their endings: ‘The nouns of class M end mostly ‘My os, eg. 6 di€gomos, the man Some end in: M, -as, eg. 6 xardoac, the father My -15, @.8. 6 doydens, the workman * There is some corlatin of gender with ses, 7 2 MODERN GREEK ‘The nouns of class F end in: F, ty eg of ddekp, the sister Fy 2 68. 7) yovabea, the woman ‘The nouns of class N end mostly in Ny -0, 6g. 16 yoageto, the office Ny -4 eg 16 aad the child Some end in: NX) -a, eg, wd Bowe, the name : diferent other sounds, eg, x6 senda, the bar; 5 ywagat, the garage; 73 ps, the light; 14 rélos, the end. : Note thatthe article , 14 may be used even infront of et names and abstract nouns, eg 6 Tvéryne, John; Ne H"Ayyiia, England; 6 Atyovoros, August; » Gan lifes 1 2004, joy.

PARTICIPLES Some adverbs are formed from verbs by changing the final -o of Active verbs into -oveas for verbs of class T, and -ms constitute a feature of all languages. For our purpose Greek idioms may be broadly divided into two lasses: 1, Real idioms, ic. those which do not conform to the general pattems of the language. They are mainly due to the lingering of older forms of the language oF to the influence ‘of foreign languages. Such idioms are the following: a fer, all right & Adov, besides & don mepertioes, in any el 8° Wag, otherwise, oF cate else segs eo, for ocd mot years er ple'eizety, for example Soo dpoga au, as far as T EE Toov, equally am concerned er dpe, pactly Byes bal ipn pov, Utake into 4& obras, in spite of ‘account ward vd dda, in other gd. arvds, above all respects Giang SuSiory completely & dpovs ov, on your éga” sedans duquponiac, ehalt ‘beyond all doubt 2. Apparent idioms, ie. those which, although conform- ing to the general patterns of the language, sound peculiar to English-speaking people. A considerable part of the language is idiomatic in this respect, and only'a few such idioms can be given here. But a knowledge and command of them is absolutely essential to anyone wishing to know the language properly: 160 iDIoms 161 14 nardpege, he managed it ¥4 Face, he pot confused, lembariased x6 tovgone or6 pat, he ‘tucked in to the food vave Bilaaca, te made mest of it ot dade, 1 ike Ugo Sina, Tam right Begs what the matter wth you? 80 nod vd dipe, bythe way, ‘Row Weare onthe subjeet odle tito, witout Fait ‘bpe co eat it out ora eird, don't give me that . sal Bia, of course ty lias 84 val Pac, Tam not 2 fool dud, 2 vopuces; Yes, what id you think? sives nate, iis cold Rodeeret td see, Tam to ao, T shall go hte 06 Wages, altnough they knew ‘eel Foy ere ny hou toe, al of them Frou xt dius, in any Frat wal Fran, 30-40 Rodita-nodea, Sst of all ivece yospora, be quick ‘edbe Bika, on the contrary $4 fageidoay, nevermind, ‘who cares, bother! 6p resgdzes, it does't matter 0d dus 06 04 Ou, we ‘hall go in any case sounds, £04 névonne well ‘what thal we do?
