Introducing the Adjectives

Adjectives Definition: word used to modify a noun or pronoun. Often answers the question "What kind of ________ is it?" –The red truck sped by us. –What kind of truck? -- red –The good mechanic passed our car.

3 Types of Adjectives Usage Attributive: attributes a characteristic to the noun -- The good book Predicate: Assigns a characteristic to the subject of the sentence -- The book is good. Substantive: the adjective acts as a stand alone noun -- The good die young. These three usages are the tricky part of adjectives. Note the differences well.

A "Good" Adjective Paradigm Masc Fem Neut Masc Fem Neut Nom Sg ἀ γαθός ἀ γαθή ἀ γαθόν Gen Sg ἀ γαθο ῦ ἀ γαθ ῆ ς ἀ γαθο ῦ Dat Sg ἀ γαθ ῷ ἀ γαθ ῇ ἀ γαθ ῷ Acc Sg ἀ γαθόν ἀ γαθήν ἀ γαθόν Nom Pl ἀ γαθοί ἀ γαθαί ἀ γαθά Gen Pl ἀ γαθ ῶ ν ἀ γαθ ῶ ν ἀ γαθ ῶ ν Dat Pl ἀ γαθο ῖ ς ἀ γαθα ῖ ς ἀ γαθο ῖ ς Acc Pl ἀ γαθούς ἀ γαθάς ἀ γαθά

Attributive Position (+ Art.) Attributive: the Adj. has the Article – ὁ ἀ γαθ ὸ ς λόγος -- the good word – ὁ λόγος ὁ ἀ γαθός -- the good word – ἐ γώ ε ἰ μ ὶ ὁ ποιμ ὴ ν ὁ καλός –I am the good shepherd (Jn. 10:11).

Predicate Position (No Art.) Predicate position the Adj. has no Article but the noun has a Art. – ἀ γαθ ὸ ς ὁ λόγος -- the word is good. – ὁ λόγος ἀ γαθ ὸ ς -- the word is good. –κα ὶ ὁ ἄ νθρωπος ο ὗ τος δίκαιος –and this man was righteous (Lk. 2:25).

Predicate or Attributive? Sometimes both the noun and the adjective do not have the article in which case context must determine whether it is predicate or attributive –κα ὶ ἀ ν ὴ ρ ἀ γαθ ὸ ς κα ὶ δίκαιος –and a good and righteous man (Lk 23:50)

Substantive Use -- No noun The substantive often has the Article but no accompanying noun –ο ἱ δ ἐ δίκοιοι ε ἰ ς ζω ὴ ν α ἰ ώνιον –and the righteous unto eternal life
