[@bkouls]

You are amazing! Thank you

[@LuizHara]

Hi Alexia, hope you are well! I have a quick question - in the simple past, if I were to use the (-ε) at the end of the conjugation of the third person plural rather than ending it in -αν as in your examples, would I then shift the accent and not require the additional epslon for verbs of 2 syllables? For example έκαναν, would this be κάνανε, and έψαξαν would be ψάξανε? Is this simpler conjugation of the 3rd person plural not very common in spoken/written Greek because it does look simpler. Thanks! Luiz

[@greeklessonsonlinevideos]

Hi Luiz! Yes you can use this form and you will have to shift the accent exactly as you mentioned. We use both types, there is no difference! Choose the one that is easier for you! 😉

[@LuizHara]

So difficult, but you made it easy and interesting, thanks so much, we'll take some time to not make mistakes and remember everything, but you're here for us! 😍 Our favorite Greek teacher

[@shannoncavanaugh6264]

Thank you so very much. We love you. Now the past makes sense to me since I followed your instructions and learned the future first. Before I found you, I only memorized the conjugations because I did not have anyone to teach me the rules. I do have two questions about the rule of 3 syllables. #1. If you use the verb " αγόρασα" and choose to use "ανε" for "they bought," will you change the accent on the verb with the syllable count to "αγοράσανε" instead of the accent placement used on "αγόρασαν"? #2 On the example sentences, we used the verb for "to go" in past tense as "Πήγε." This has only 2 syllables. So this verb does not apply to the rule of 3 syllables? I apologize for asking so many questions. It is my goal to learn as much as I can from your videos and then to hire you as my tutor to practice my ability to listen and talk to understand. That is the most difficult for me.

[@user-xh9rz7rf8l]

In the first case, nothing changes, as long as you count three syllables before the tone (in both cases it is the same). In the second case, be aware that there are some exceptions - and that is why we call them irregular verbs, where verbs would lose their euphony if they followed the rule, eg (πηγαίνω or πάω - πήγα / βρίσκω - βρήκα κλπ)

[@ellenbendong7247]

Hi, i really do appreciate your effort on the lessons, and it helped me a lot to understand more, may I ask if you have a separate lesson that will help or guide atleast on where to put the accents on a greek word/s, the same as this lesson that the accent must be on the 3rd syllable before the ending (the rule of the past tense verb). How about other words? Is there any rule or pattern to know about the accent/s of the greek word/s, where to put them? Ευχαριστώ πολύ

[@greeklessonsonlinevideos]

Hi Ellen, each word has an independent accent. Only in the nouns and some verbs you can apply a rule. I advice you to learn each word with the accent and then apply the rules (plural nouns, past tense, genitive case etc)

Για σας what about the key word a few month ago?how to translate it?thank you for your lessons....they are very,very clear that is not really easy becouse of the difficulty of Greek language

[@greeklessonsonlinevideos]

Γεια σου Ειρήνη! Ευχαριστώ πολύ!! A few months ago = Μερικούς μήνες πριν / Πριν από μερικούς μήνες.

[@vezgold]

Hello , I have a question. Why on "πήγε" the accent is not on the third sillab from the end?

[@greeklessonsonlinevideos]

Because this is an irregular verb! The rule will not apply here !

[@AS-md4ic]

Do you have any video lessons, where you are explaining in person the Greek grammar of level B1-B2. I interested in this!

[@greeklessonsonlinevideos]

Not yet! Stay tuned!

[@Daskalos101]

Συγνώμη but I have a question. Why in the second example the verb doesn't take epsilon it is a two syllable verb. 2) Ο Θανοσ πηγε περσι στην Ινδια. Σεσ ευχαριστω παρα πολυ!

[@greeklessonsonlinevideos]

Because it is irregular!

[@larisaconstantinou4510]

Could you please explain why πήγε has only two syllables? Thank you.

[@greeklessonsonlinevideos]

It's irregular verb. It doesn't follow the rules.

[@aytensuvak1172]

Yes, thank you so much, could you teach us more about the past tense?

[@greeklessonsonlinevideos]

Yes, our next two lessons will be about the Past!

[@MrSardoc1]

Oh, interesting. I've known the spelling χθες, but you showed χτες here. Is there a difference? Some regional preference, maybe a different origin?

[@MrSardoc1]

And another one: I've known πέρυσι vs πέρσι.

[@greeklessonsonlinevideos]

We use both forms equally!

[@mediamonitor3859]

Μια ερώτηση παρακαλώ. Στο τελευταίο παράδειγμα, γιατί είναι «το λογαριασμό» και όχι «τον λογαριασμό»;

[@memorybox5578]

Here's the explanation. In case you don't understand, I can explain it in English as well. Αυτό έχει να κάνει με τον κανόνα για το τελικό ν. Σύμφωνα με αυτόν τον κανόνα, στο θηλυκό άρθρο «την», την προσωπική αντωνυμία «αυτήν» και «την», και το μόριο «μην» (κάποιοι προσθέτουν και το μόριο «δεν»), το τελικό ν διατηρείται ΜΟΝΟ όταν η επόμενη λέξη αρχίζει από φωνήεν ή από ένα από τα σύμφωνα κ, π, τ, ξ, ψ, μπ, γκ, ντ, τσ, τζ. Σε όλες τις άλλες περιπτώσεις, το ν χάνεται σε αυτές τις λέξεις. Παραδείγματα: την Κύπρο - τη Γαλλία την ντύνω - τη διάβασα μην μπεις - μη μιλήσεις Παλαιότερα, ο κανόνας αυτός ίσχυε και για το αρσενικό άρθρο «τον» (π.χ. τον άνθρωπο - το λογαριασμό). Τα τελευταία χρόνια όμως προτείνεται να διατηρούμε πάντα το ν σε αυτήν την περίπτωση (τον), για να μην το μπερδεύουμε με το ουδέτερο άρθρο «το». Έτσι, πλέον γράφουμε: τον λογαριασμό, τον Νίκο, τον γιατρό

[@user-xh9rz7rf8l]

You can use the final "ν" always. The "masters" wanted to make our language poorer.
