Learn Greek: Grammar - The Preposition "σε" | Η πρόθεση "σε"

6 років тому

All you need to know about the preposition "σε", the most common modern Greek preposition.
It is used to express place, destination, time, manner and it is also used in many expressions. In this video we'll cover only the basics, but don't worry, we'll meet "σε" a lot in the future.

I enjoy your videos which discuss Greek in English. You are the Greek equivalent to the "Italy Made Easy" channel which takes the same approach in teaching Italian to English speakers. They are very helpful.

You are helping me a lot on the road to my goal, to one day move to Greece and live with my Greek friends there! Λινα! Ευχαριστώ πάρα ,πάρα πολύ! Lasse

@legaleagle46 6 років тому

Hmm - I've been studying, speaking, reading, and writing Modern Greek for over 35 years, and this is the first time I've ever seen σε used with the Genitive in the same way that the French use "chez." I had also forgotten that σε is never used with the Accusative of months, days of the week, or years. I just learned some new things today. :)

Question : it seems to me that the use of σε acts as some kind of replacement for the long gone dative case in ancient Greek , am I right ? Thanks for your videos I'm a beginner with Greek and I love it!

@linaaaap1 6 років тому

Hello! You are absolutely right! "Σε" has replaced "εν" which was used with the dative case in Ancient Greek. Thank you for watching! :)

Linaaaaa, thank you again for these videos but i have to ask something: Are you planning to do a video showing the use of pronoun in the accusative case forms(Strong and Weak) like με, εμενα, σε, εσενα, το, τα. It's a bit confusing to understands the use of them. Again thank you !!

Hi Lina!. I was wondering if you have video about when spelling words when to use

@12jbrick 6 років тому

when do you use η OR ι OR υ OR WHEN DO USE ο OR ω. DO YOI HAVE VIDEO ON THE USAGE OF THESE LETTERS

@linaaaap1 6 років тому

Hi! This is a very logical question, but with a disappointing answer I'm afraid. There is no rule. Ok, to be 100% correct, there are only a few rules, mostly about endings of verbs and declinable words. I don't suggest that you sit and learn all these rules at once. For example, learn the rules of verb spelling while studying the different conjugations, etc. Everything else you'll learn by experience. :)

@funenglish248 5 років тому

Hi. In the example "stis 2 apriliou", you used the genitive case for aprilios, why didn´t you used aprilio instead of apriliou ?

@aggelosn.6846 5 років тому

This is a bit tricky. The accusative goes to the word "2" and the following word is in genitive form as it has the meaning "of". It's like saying "Στις 2 του Απριλίου (on the 2nd OF April), but "του"/ "of" is usually omitted in this case. It is an expression. Usually whichever noun follows "of" (either explicit or implicit) is in genitive form

@linaaaap1 5 років тому

Thank you for explaining! It is true it's a bit tricky but also very important to know.

In my opinion it does sounds serious, but warm. I mean, we can feel by your voice you are a nice person. But I think you could include much more humour and it will continue being didactic but more fun!

I like that she said apostrophe like it has a silent e. Its actually uh pah struh fee with the e being like Greek

@linaaaap1 5 років тому

Good remark and a nice opportunity for a mini Greek lesson! In Greek "apostrophe" is "απόστροφος". "Αποστροφή" (that sounds more like the correct EN "apostrophe") has a totally different meaning: "aversion" or "disgust"! This is not an excuse for my mistake by no means, I just thought it could be useful!

@user-hy4bh8pw6b 3 роки тому

Επιτρέψτε μου να σας ρωτήσω κάτι. Πώς να το γράψετε σωστά? τις - στις? Παράδειγμα - Κοιμάμαι μέχρι τις - στις 9 το πρωί ?

@user-xh9rz7rf8l 2 роки тому

Πρώτα να ξεκαθαρίσουμε πως το "τις" είναι άρθρο μιας λέξης και το "στις", άρθρο 2 λέξεων. Το "Σ=σ" μπροστά υποδηλώνει το αρχαίο "είς" δηλαδή : εις τις 9 > στις 9. Άρα, όταν δηλώνουμε κάτι που κάνουμε χρησιμοποιούμε το "τις". π.χ. Κοιμάμαι μέχρι τις 9, παίζω με τις πέτρες στην παραλία, πλένω τις πετσέτες (είναι άρθρο του πληθυντικού). Το άρθρο "εις τις - στις", δηλώνει κάτι που θα κάνουμε στο μέλλον ή έχουμε κάνει στο παρελθόν ή και σε διάφορες περιγραφές, π.χ. θα πάω στις Κυκλάδες το καλοκαίρι, έπαιξα στις σχολικές παραστάσεις, πάνω στις πέτρες έτρεχε ένας κάβουρας...κλπ.

@user-vs8vf1ij9x Рік тому

Το σε δεν είναι ακριβώς πρόθεση γιατί σεν συντίθεται με άλλες λέξεις αλλα τύπος της προθέσεως "ἐίς" επίσης η αγγλικές πρόθεσης "in,to" έρχονται απο τα ελληνικά και είναι η αντίστοιχες ἔν και τῷ (άρθρο τής δοτικής) οπότε υπάρχουν και οι αντίστοιχες συντάξεις (ἐν, τῷ, ἐπί, ἔις) άλλο που προτιμάται μόνο η τελευταία.

@linaaaap1 11 місяців тому

Very interesting insights, but just to avoid confusion with Ancient Greek, in the official Modern Greek grammar that is taught in schools, "σε" is a preposition. "Εις" in modern Greek is only used as a prefix in compound words and in some standard expressions.

@le3man 6 років тому

Γεια σου Λινα ,,,,,,,,,Can i say ,,,,,,,,Ειμαι οτην δουλεια ( i'm at work)

Yes! "Είμαι στη δουλειά" is absolutely correct and very common indeed!

@le3man 6 років тому

Learn Greek with Lina στη or στην

@linaaaap1 6 років тому

In this case (before "δ") , the correct one is "στη δουλειά" without the final -ν.
