Η καμπίνα είναι έτοιμη.

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

In this sentence:

• Η = the
• καμπίνα = a feminine noun

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

Here, Η καμπίνα means the cabin.

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

καμπίνα is a feminine noun, which is why it takes:

• the feminine article η
• the feminine adjective form έτοιμη

A very common clue is that many feminine nouns end in -α or -η, and καμπίνα ends in -α.

This is grammatical gender, so it does not necessarily mean the thing itself is biologically female.

είναι means is here. It is the present-tense form of to be.

In this sentence, it links the subject and the adjective:

• Η καμπίνα = the subject
• είναι = is
• έτοιμη = ready

So the structure is:

subject + to be + adjective

A useful thing to know is that είναι is also used for he/she/it is and they are, so its form does not change the way English is/are does.

Because adjectives in Greek must agree with the noun they describe.

Since καμπίνα is:

• feminine
• singular
• nominative

the adjective must also be:

• feminine
• singular
• nominative

So:

• έτοιμος = masculine singular
• έτοιμη = feminine singular
• έτοιμο = neuter singular

That is why Greek says Η καμπίνα είναι έτοιμη.

Yes. Even after είναι, the adjective still agrees with the noun.

This is called a predicate adjective in English grammar terms. In Greek, predicate adjectives still match the subject in gender, number, and case.

So in:

Η καμπίνα είναι έτοιμη

έτοιμη agrees with καμπίνα, even though it is not placed directly next to it.

A simple pronunciation guide is:

ee kahm-BEE-nah EE-neh EH-ee-mee

A few helpful notes:

• η sounds like ee
• μπ in καμπίνα is usually pronounced like b
• the stress is marked by the written accent:
  • καμπίνα
  • είναι
  • έτοιμη

So the stressed syllables are:

• kahm-BEE-nah
• EE-neh
• EH-ee-mee

It is in the nominative case, because it is the subject of the sentence.

You can see that in:

• Η καμπίνα = nominative feminine singular
• έτοιμη = also nominative feminine singular, agreeing with the subject

So the sentence is built around a nominative subject plus είναι plus a predicate adjective.

No, Greek word order is more flexible than English word order.

The most neutral version is:

Η καμπίνα είναι έτοιμη.

But other orders are possible, depending on emphasis, for example:

• Έτοιμη είναι η καμπίνα.
• Η καμπίνα έτοιμη είναι. — possible, but less neutral

Greek often uses word order to shift focus or emphasis, while English usually depends more on intonation.

So the given sentence is the most straightforward, standard way to say it.

You could, but it does not mean exactly the same thing.

• Η καμπίνα είναι έτοιμη = The cabin is ready
• Η έτοιμη καμπίνα = the ready cabin

In the second version, έτοιμη is placed directly before the noun, so it is an attributive adjective, not part of a full sentence by itself.

That means:

• Η καμπίνα είναι έτοιμη is a complete statement
• Η έτοιμη καμπίνα is just a noun phrase

In this sentence, if you mean the cabin, then yes, you normally keep Η.

• Η καμπίνα είναι έτοιμη = The cabin is ready
• Καμπίνα είναι έτοιμη would sound unnatural in normal standard Greek

If you wanted a cabin is ready, Greek would usually express that differently, since Greek does not have a separate word exactly like English a/an.

So in this sentence, the article is the normal and expected choice.

You make it negative by putting δεν before είναι:

Η καμπίνα δεν είναι έτοιμη.

That means The cabin is not ready.

This is the standard way to negate είναι in Greek.

You change the noun, article, and adjective to the feminine plural:

Οι καμπίνες είναι έτοιμες.

Breakdown:

• Οι = the, feminine plural
• καμπίνες = cabins
• είναι = are / is
• έτοιμες = ready, feminine plural

Notice that είναι stays the same, but the article, noun, and adjective all change.

Yes, it is very close in meaning and form, and it is easy for an English speaker to recognize.

Depending on context, καμπίνα can mean things like:

• cabin
• booth
• stall
• compartment
• changing cubicle

So the exact English translation depends on the situation, even though the grammar of the Greek sentence stays the same.
