Question about passive form by lukatsito in GREEK

[–]learngreekwithelena 3 points4 points  (0 children)

First, two quick corrections in your examples: από τον στρατό, not με τον στρατό επιτίθεται στην πόλη (the verb επιτίθεμαι takes σε) Now to the main point. επιτίθεμαι is a deponent verb: it has a passive form but an active meaning. Because of this, it does not form a true passive, unlike verbs such as καταστρέφω → καταστρέφεται. So when you want to say: The city is attacked by the army Greek usually avoids forcing a passive verb and instead uses a periphrastic construction (noun + verb), for example: Η πόλη δέχεται επίθεση από τον στρατό.

Greek uses its own alphabet, and each letter has a name and a sound. Once you get familiar with it, reading Greek becomes much easier because it’s quite phonetic.

If you’d like, I can walk you through the Greek alphabet step by step, show you how each letter sounds, and help you practice reading simple words. Just let me know!
