Questions & Answers about Η ευάλωτη ομάδα λαμβάνει είδη οικιακής χρήσης.

What does η mean in this sentence?

Η is the feminine singular definite article, so it means the.

It matches ομάδα because ομάδα is a feminine singular noun.
So:

• η ομάδα = the group

Greek articles change form depending on gender, number, and case.

Why is it ευάλωτη and not some other form of the adjective?

Because Greek adjectives must agree with the noun they describe in gender, number, and case.

Here, ομάδα is:

• feminine
• singular
• nominative

So the adjective also appears in the feminine singular nominative form:

• ευάλωτος = vulnerable (masculine basic form)
• ευάλωτη = vulnerable (feminine form)
• ευάλωτο = vulnerable (neuter form)

So η ευάλωτη ομάδα means the vulnerable group.

Can the adjective come after the noun instead of before it?

Yes. Greek often allows more flexibility in word order than English.

So both of these are possible:

• Η ευάλωτη ομάδα
• Η ομάδα η ευάλωτη or more naturally Η ομάδα είναι ευάλωτη in a different structure

In this sentence, putting ευάλωτη before ομάδα is the most straightforward way to say the vulnerable group.
