Q

Why Learn Greek?

A
  1. To learn to read scripture as it was originally written. The original audience and writers were in Greek. This helps us think in the way the original audience and authors did.
  2. To see the depth and detail of the original text
    How does the language change this exactly? You will see key words that you can’t appreciate in English. You’d miss this word for grace as translated favored or another word. You’ll see an appreciate puns. Philemon.
  3. To teach and preach with confidence and precision
    Many pastors don’t know Greek anymore. They depend on commentators. But you don’t know if what they are saying is true.
  4. Knowing Greek will prevent you from getting bad tatoos. (silly reason for fun)

Q

Reading Marks

A

Rough marks add an h breathing sounds. Smooth marks add no sound.

Every word that starts with a vowel has a rough or smooth breathing mark over the first letter. With diphthongs, they appear over the second letter.

A smooth mark over an empty space at the end of a word happens because a vowel isn’t written if it starts the next word. This is called an elision and is not a breathing mark.

Q

Verb and Noun Accent

A

Verb accent is recessive, meaning that that accent of a verb recedes as far as the general rules permit. Noun accent is persistent or retentive. As the noun goes through its various inflections, the accent persists all the same.

1) First declension nouns always have a circumflex on the ultima in the genitive plural.
2) When the ultima of a first declension noun is accented, it receives the circumflex in the genitive and dative of both numbers; elsewhere it receives the acute (or grave as required). γῆ is an exception which has the circumflex throughout.
3) If the nominative singular is short alpha it remains so. If the nominative singular is long alpha it remains so. Elsewhere, (except for -αι in the nominative plural), the ending is long.

Q

Adjective Syntax

A

There are three types of adjectives, Attributive, Predicate, and Substantive.

Attributive identify or describe and follow three patterns
article, adjective noun
article, noun, article, adjective
adjective, noun

Predicate are used with a linking verb to assert something about the noun.
three patterns
adjective, article, noun
article, noun, adjective
adjective, noun

Last pattern is context only, the first two for both are article before adjective = attributive.

Substantive adjectives function on their own as nouns and do not link to another noun.

A
  • If it stands alone, it is a pronoun.
    – It agrees with the antecedent in gender and number in this case.
  • When it is used with a noun it stands in the predicate position usually and will agree in case, number, and gender.
    – English translation typically omits the definite article.

Special uses of αὐτος

A

Attributive: Identical use (same)
Predicate: Intensive use (X-self)
No noun: Pronoun*

Article Shortcut: If the article is in front of a pronoun that matches a noun it is the identical version. If not it is the predicate version. If no article is present, good luck.

*If the article is present with the pronoun without the noun, it uses the identical sense.

The Augment

A

The imperfect forms also involve an augment which is added onto the beginning of the verb, in this case ἔ.

For all verbs that begin with a consonant, it is just an added epsilon. If it begins with a vowel or diphthong, then the vowel changes instead; alpha becomes eta, epsilon becomes eta, and omicron becomes omega.

i.e. ἄγω becomes ἠγον

Additional note: It replaces the entire diphthong.

ἀγαπάω -> ἠγάπηκα

  1. Verbs beginning with aspirated consonants (φ, θ, χ) are reduplicated with corresponding unaspirated consonants (π, τ, κ).

φιλέω -> πεφίληκα

  1. Verbs beginning with a double consonant (ψ, ζ, ξ) or with two consonants (unless the second consonant is λ or ρ) are reduplicated with ε. Identical to the augment.

Attributive, “The Believing Man” which has the same setup as the one with adjectives:
article participle noun or article noun article participle.

article participle

Adverbial:
Predicate use, agrees in case, number, and gender, but it also modifies a verb.

participle article noun

Usually adverbials appear with no article. This does not always mean the lack of an article indicates an adverbial, like adjectives.

118
Q

119
Q

Genitive Absolute

A

If a participle modifies the subject of the sentence, it will be in the nominative case; if it modifies the direct object of the main verb, it will be in the accusative and so on.

141
Q

Liquid Verbs

A

Liquid verbs have steams that end in λ, μ, ν, and ρ. These consonants are called liquids (μ and ν are also called nasals) because their sounds are frictionless and can be prolonged like a vowel. They do not accept direct attachment of the σ in future or σα of the first aorist.

142
Q

Future Active Liquid using μένω

A

Future Active of μένω
Singular
1. μενῶ, I will remain
2. μενεῖς, you (sing.) will remain
3. μενεῖ
Plural
1. μενοῦμεν
2. μενεῖτε
3. μενοῦσι(ν)

143
Q

Future Middle Liquid using μένω

A

Singular
1. μενοῦμαι
2. μενῇ
3. μενεῖται
Plural
1. μενούμεθα
2. μενεῖσθε
3. μενοῦνται

144
Q

Formation of the Future Liquid

A

The future liquid verb is formed by adding an epsilon suffix to the verb stem prior to the person/number endings. This epsilon contracts, however, with the variable vowel of the endings with the result that the future active and middle of a liquid verb resemble the present active and middle/passive of a contract verb in -εω.

145
Q

Formation of the First Aorist Liquid Verb

A

First aorist active and middle are made by adding -α to the verb steam rather than -σα. The vowel usually lengthens because the sigma is not present.

146
Q

First Aorist Liquid using μένω

A

Singular
1. ἔμεινα, I remained
2. ἔμεινας, you (sing.) remained
3. ἔμεινε(ν)
Plural
1. ἐμείναμεν
2. ἐμείνατε
3. ἔμείναν

147
Q

Liquid Second Aorist

A

Some liquid verbs have second aorists (βάλλω, ἔβαλον) or irregular aorists (φέρω, ἤνεγκα), in which case the peculiarities of liquid aorists obviously would not apply.

148
Q

Reciprocal Pronouns

A

ἀλληλων, ἀλλήλαις, ἀλλήλους
(Of one another, only the masculine is in the NT, the other two sometimes appear in the LXX.)

They are used when there is a mutual interaction between members of a plural subject. There is no nominative.

149
Q

Possessive Adjectives

A

These are adjectives that are declined in the 2-1-2 format. They express possess in the attributive possession, but are rare compared to normal genitive possession using personal pronouns.

They are the words ἐμός, σός, ἡμέτερος, and, ὑπέτερος.

They agree with the nouns they modify in case, number, and gender.

150
Q

The Subjunctive Mood

A

The subjective mood is often called the “mood of probability”. It can convey doubt, expectation, volition, intention, and desire and more. It asserts potential or contingent things rather than reality.

It has the characteristic of futurity.

The subjunctive occurs in the present, aorist, and perfect tenses. The perfect is not included in the textbook due to its rarity.

It’s negative is μή.

3) Assertion: this says something will not happen, is called the emphatic negation, and uses οὐ μή.

Sometimes the antecedent of a relative pronoun is sometimes omitted and a word must be supplied to complete the translation, like “he who” vs “who”.
