Shelmerdine Chapter rd declension nouns: stems in diphthongs A small group of 3 rd declension nouns has stems ending in diphthongs (all in - υ : ευ, αυ, ου ).

Shelmerdine Chapter rd declension nouns: stems in diphthongs The most common nouns end in - ευ. –The - υ disappears except in the nominative and vocative singulars, and the dative plural. –The genitive singular ends in – ως (rather than - ος ). –In the nominative plural, the resulting - εες contracts to - εις. –In the nominative, accusative and vocative plural, forms in - ης take over by the end of the fourth century BCE.

Shelmerdine Chapter rd declension nouns: stems in diphthongs A few 3 rd declension nouns have stems in -αυ or - ου. The -υ disappears in the genitive and dative singulars, and the nominative and genitive plurals. –The accusative singular uses the ending –ν (instead of -α). γραῦς, γραός ἡ “old woman” has a stem ending in -αυ. –ναῦς, νεώς ἡ “ship” has a stem ending in -αυ but is irregular (see 15.4). βοῦς, βοός ὁ/ἡ “ox” has a stem ending in -ου. –χοῦς, χοός ὁ “three quart measure” has a stem ending in -ου, but with accusatives χόα and χόας.

Shelmerdine Chapter The present and imperfect passive of thematic verbs This chapter introduces the passive voice of regular verbs. When a verb is passive, the noun in the nominative case receives the action. English forms passive verbs by replacing an active verb with the corresponding form of “be” and adding the perfect participle.

Shelmerdine Chapter The present and imperfect passive of thematic verbs Compare the following active and passive sentences. Both describe the same action but using different constructions: –“Godzilla sees the city.” active present –“The city is seen by Godzilla.” passive present “sees” is replaced by “is,” then “seen” is added.

Shelmerdine Chapter The present and imperfect passive of thematic verbs Compare the following active and passive sentences. Both describe the same action but using different constructions : –“Godzilla was destroying the city.” active imperfect –“The city was being destroyed by Godzilla.” passive imperfect “was destroying” is replaced by “was being,” then “destroyed” is added.

Shelmerdine Chapter The present and imperfect passive of thematic verbs In the present and imperfect tenses, active and passive Greek verbs differ only in their personal endings.

Shelmerdine Chapter 15 ACTIVE singular λύω (I loose) λύεις (you loose) λύει (s/he, it looses) plural λύομεν (we loose) λύετε (you, y’all loose) λύουσι (they loose) PASSIVE singular λύομαι (I am loosed) λύῃ/λύει (you are loosed) λύεται (s/he, it is loosed) plural λυόμεθα (we are loosed) λύεσθε (y’all are loosed) λύονται (they are loosed) present tense λύεσαι = λύ+ε+(σ)+αι  λύῃ or λύει

Shelmerdine Chapter 15 PASSIVE singular λύομαι (I am loosed) λύῃ/λύει (you are loosed) λύεται (s/he, it is loosed) plural λυόμεθα (we are loosed) λύεσθε (y’all are loosed) λύονται (they are loosed) present tense λύεσαι = λύ+ε+(σ)+αι  λύῃ or λύει Note the final –αι is short for purposes of accent (1 st sg and 3 rd sg & pl). These endings are the same as those you learned for the future of εἰμί.

Shelmerdine Chapter 15 ACTIVE singular ἔλυον (I was loosing) ἔλυες (you were loosing) ἔλυε (s/he, it was loosing) plural ἐλύομεν (we were loosing) ἐλύετε (y’all were loosing) ἔλυον (they were loosing) PASSIVE singular ἐλυόμην (I was being loosed) ἐλύου (you were being loosed) ἐλύετο (s/he, it was being loosed) plural ἐλυόμεθα (we were being loosed) ἐλύεσθε (y’all were being loosed) ἐλύοντο (they were being loosed) imperfect tense ἐλύεσο = ἐλύ+ε+(σ)+ο  ἐλύου

Shelmerdine Chapter Genitive of personal agent When the verb is passive, the agent of the action goes in the genitive following ὑπό : –ὁ Περικλῆς διώκει τοὺς Πέρσας. “Pericles pursues the Persians.” (active) –οἱ Πέρσαι διώκονται ὑπὸ τοῦ Περικλέους. “The Persians are pursued by Pericles.” (passive)

Shelmerdine Chapter Genitive of agent An instrument is expressed by the dative, whether the verb is active or passive: –ὁ Περικλῆς διώκει ἁμάξῃ τοὺς Πέρσας. “Pericles pursues the Persians in a chariot.” –οἱ Πέρσαι διώκονται ἁμάξῃ ὑπὸ τοῦ Περικλέους. “The Persians are pursued by Pericles in a chariot.” –οἱ Πέρσαι διώκονται ἁμάξαις. “The Persians are pursued by chariots.”

This part always ends in - ην : –λύω, λύσω, ἔλυσα, λέλυκα, λέλυμαι, ἐλύθην

Shelmerdine Chapter The aorist passive indicative of thematic verbs (6 th principal part) This part always ends in - ην : –λύω, λύσω, ἔλυσα, λέλυκα, λέλυμαι, ἐλύθην To form the aorist passive, you can always replace the final –ν with: -ν (1 st sg) -μεν (1 st pl) -ς (2 nd sg) -τε (2 nd pl) - (3 rd sg) -σαν (3 rd pl)
