Questions & Answers about Η δημοτική αστυνομία στέλνει την κοινοποίηση.

Why are there two different words for the in this sentence: Η and την?

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

In this sentence:

• Η = the for a feminine singular subject in the nominative
• την = the for a feminine singular direct object in the accusative

So:

• Η δημοτική αστυνομία = the municipal police as the subject
• την κοινοποίηση = the notification as the object

English mostly keeps the the same, but Greek changes it.

Why is δημοτική written in that form?

δημοτική is an adjective, and Greek adjectives must agree with the noun they describe in:

• gender
• number
• case

Here it describes αστυνομία, which is:

• feminine
• singular
• nominative

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

• masculine: δημοτικός
• feminine: δημοτική
• neuter: δημοτικό

That is why you see δημοτική αστυνομία.
