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.

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.
