Questions & Answers about Η ετικέτα είναι στο μικροαντικείμενο.

Why is there η before ετικέτα?

η is the feminine singular definite article in the nominative case. It means the.

So:

• η ετικέτα = the label

Greek articles change for gender, number, and case, unlike English the, which always stays the same.

Here, ετικέτα is a feminine singular noun, so it takes η when it is the subject of the sentence.

Why is ετικέτα feminine?

In Greek, every noun has a grammatical gender: masculine, feminine, or neuter.

ετικέτα happens to be a feminine noun, so it uses feminine forms like:

• η ετικέτα = the label
• της ετικέτας = of the label
• την ετικέτα = the label (object)

This gender is something you usually need to learn along with the noun. It does not necessarily mean the object itself is biologically female; it is just a grammatical category.
