Shelmerdine Chapter Adverbs •Adverbs in Greek derive from case forms of nouns. In some cases, their origin as a case was completely forgotten. –For example, some feminine dative singular forms function as adverbs: ταύτῃ “this way” κοινῇ “in common” λάθρᾳ “in secret” ἰδίᾳ “individually” •As such, adverbs frequently resemble noun forms and consistently accent like nouns.

Shelmerdine Chapter Adverbs •Basic forms of all three degrees of adverbs are identical with, or nearly so, specific forms of the adjectives from which they derive. –Positive degree is the genitive plural with –ς replacing the final -ν. •σοφός -ή -όν “wise”  σοφῶν  σοφῶς “wisely” •The ending derives from the lost ablative case.

Shelmerdine Chapter Adverbs •Basic forms of all three degrees of adverbs are identical with, or nearly so, specific forms of the adjectives from which they derive. –Comparative degree is the neuter singular nom/acc. •σοφώτερος -α -ον “wiser”  σοφώτερον “more wisely”

Shelmerdine Chapter Adverbs •Basic forms of all three degrees of adverbs are identical with, or nearly so, specific forms of the adjectives from which they derive. –Superlative degree is the neuter plural nom/acc. •σοφώτατος -η -ον “wisest”  σοφώτατα “most wisely”

Shelmerdine Chapter ἔχω + adverb: •Greek uses ἔχω + an adverb to indicate a state of being, where English colloquially uses “be,” “do,” or “go.” –πῶς ἔχεις; “How are you?” or “How’s it going?” or “How are you doing?” –ἔχω καλῶς. “I’m doing fine.” or “I’m fine.” –κακῶς ἔχει. “It’s bad.” or “It’s going badly.” –τούτως ἔχει. “That’s how it goes.” or “That’s how it is.” –Cf. εὖ λέγεις. “That’s good.” (literally, “You speak well”  “You speak good news”). Cf. English “eulogy”

Shelmerdine Chapter The interrogative pronoun/adjective •This chapter introduces the interrogative pronoun in Greek. This pronoun serves the function of “who?” “what?” “which?” “whose?” and “whom?” in English. •Who is speaking? •What are they saying? •Which (or what) horse do you like? •Whose horse is that? •To whom are you speaking?

Shelmerdine Chapter The interrogative pronoun/adjective •The interrogative pronoun τίς τί has the stem τιν – and uses third declension endings. •It ALWAYS bears an acute accent on its first syllable. –Even single-syllable forms never change their accent to a grave as other words normally do. –τίς λέγει; Who is speaking?

Shelmerdine Chapter The interrogative pronoun/adjective •The interrogative pronoun τίς τί Who? What?: Masc/Fem Neuter τίς τίνες τί τίνα τίνος τίνων τίνι τίσι τίνα τίναςτί τίνα

Shelmerdine Chapter The interrogative pronoun/adjective •τίς λέγει; Who is speaking? •τί λέγουσιν; What are they saying? –τί sometimes translates better as “why?” (“Why are they saying that?” •φιλεῖς τίνα ἵππον; Which (or what) horse do you like? •τίνος ἵππος ἐστίν; Whose horse is that? •τίνι λέγεις; To whom are you speaking?

Shelmerdine Chapter The indefinite pronoun/adjective •This chapter introduces the indefinite pronoun/adjective τις τι in Greek. •The indefinite forms look exactly like the interrogative forms, except the indefinite forms are all enclitic (and thus normally have no accent), while the interrogative forms must bear an acute accent.

Shelmerdine Chapter The indefinite pronoun/adjective •τις τι follows a word it modifies, usually immediately after it as an enclitic suffix. –τίς λέγει; Who is speaking? –τίς Ἀθηναῖος λέγει; What Athenian is speaking? –Ἀθηναῖός τις λέγει. Some Athenian is speaking.

Shelmerdine Chapter The indefinite pronoun/adjective •τις τι, as an enclitic, can never begin a clause: –τίς λέγει; Who is speaking? –ὁ Ἀθηναῖος λέγει. The Athenian is speaking. –Ἀθηναῖός τις λέγει. Some Athenian is speaking. –λέγει τις. Someone is speaking.

Shelmerdine Chapter Interrogative and indefinite adverbs •Like τίς τί/τις τι, six other adverbs in Greek have enclitic indefinite and accented interrogative forms: Indefinite (& enclitic) Interrogative πῃ (somehow) πῇ (how?) ποθεν (from somewhere) πόθεν (where from?) ποι (to somewhere) ποῖ (where to?) που (somewhere) ποῦ (where?) ποτε (some time) πότε (when?) πως (somehow) πῶς (how?)
