Do not confuse it with the conjunction ἄρα“therefore” • πότεwhen? • ποῦwhere? • πῶςhow? • πότερονwhether Answers • ναίyes • μάλισταdefinitely yes • οὐ no
Elementary Greek Unit 20: Particles • Most languages do not write out the delicate nuances of speech, but Greek has a tradition of recording the Greek voice with great precision (as shown by its commitment to spelling words just as speakers pronounced them). • This tradition means that written Greek often includes a number of small words that speakers used in colorful ways to convey a certain tone. These words do not necessarily have a particular vocabulary meaning, but they flavor and spice the material, often in quite revealing ways. • Such words might or might not serve a grammatical purpose, so they are not technically a part of speech. The traditional term for words used this way is “particle.”
Elementary Greek Unit 20: Particles • αὖ“on the other hand…” • γεintensifies and sharpens the word(s) before it • δήliterally “now!” but more generally emphatic • ἦ emphasizes the particle that follows • καίτοιmarks a transition, restatement or conclusion • μέντοιpostpositive “of course” (emphatic in replies); “however” (in a transition) • μήνfollows a particle that it emphasizes • νῦν, νυνί”now” “as it is now…” • οὐκοῦνsets up an expectation to agree • πέρenclitic, an emphatic suffix following relatives and conjunctions
Elementary Greek From Unit 14: Greek Adverbs • Adverbs generally provide additional information about the verbal action. • This is a very broad category, so in practice adverbs cover nearly everything not covered in the other categories of words (verb, noun, pronoun, adjective, preposition, conjunction). • This unit covers only adverbs that are formed from adjectives. Unit 20 will cover the remaining adverbs.

Elementary Greek • Although advanced vocabulary lists and lexica give six principal parts for Greek verbs, you are responsible for only the first three. For most reading purposes at the beginning and intermediate levels, these three are sufficient. • Some verbs lack even these three principal parts. Such verbs are called “defective.” • The following slides list the “defective” verbs from your vocabulary lists and thus complete your vocabulary.
