  1. Greek I Demonstrative Pronouns/Adjectives (Chapters 13)

  2. Overview of this Lesson • In this lesson we will learn: • the demonstrative pronoun/adjectives “this” and “that;” • that when they function as adjectives they are in the predicate position; • the vocative case.

  3. English Grammar • The demonstratives in English are “this/these” and “that/those” (singular/plural). • The same word can used as either a pronoun or an adjective. • That is mine. • That book is mine.

  4. Greek Grammar • The demonstratives in Greek are ou-toj (this/these) and evkei/noj (that/those). • They function the same way that they do in English, both as pronouns and adjectives, and follow the respective rules of these parts of speech. • As a pronoun, case is determined by the function in the sentence, gender and number by its antecedent. • As an adjective, it agrees with what it modifies in case, number, and gender. • The difference is that the Greek demonstratives, unlike their English counterparts, also have case and gender.

  6. Forms of evkei/noj

  7. Vocative Case • The vocative case is the case of direct address. • Ouv pa/j o` le,gwn moi( Ku,rie ku,rie( eivseleu,setai eivj th.n basilei,an tw/n ouvranw/n( • In the plural, the vocative is identical to the nominative plural (a;nqrwpoi). • In the singular first declension, the vocative is the same as the nominative (avdelfh,). • In the singular second declension, the vocative ending is usually epsilon (Ku,rie). • In the singular third declension, the vocative is usually the bare stem of the word, sometimes with the stem vowel changed. • The vocative of path,r is pa,ter. • Context will help you determine the vocative.

  8. For Next Week • Study the vocab from chapter 13. • Do workbook exercises 13. • Read chapter 14 on the relative pronoun, pp. 114-120.
