Η φάρμα έχει ζώα.

Η means the.

It is the feminine singular definite article in Greek, used here with φάρμα because φάρμα is a feminine noun.

So:

• η φάρμα = the farm

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

Here, φάρμα is:

• feminine
• singular
• nominative (the subject of the sentence)

So the correct article is η.

A learner will often compare:

• ο for masculine singular
• η for feminine singular
• το for neuter singular

Φάρμα means farm, and it is a feminine noun.

That is why it takes the article η in this sentence:

• η φάρμα = the farm

The ending -α is very common in feminine nouns, though you should not assume every noun ending in -α is feminine without checking.

Έχει means has.

It comes from the verb έχω, which means to have.

So:

• έχω = I have
• έχεις = you have
• έχει = he/she/it has

In this sentence, the subject is η φάρμα (the farm), which is third person singular, so Greek uses έχει.

Because Greek usually does not need to include subject pronouns when the verb ending already shows the person.

In English, you usually say:

• The farm has animals or
• It has animals

In Greek, the verb form έχει already tells you it is he/she/it has, so no extra pronoun is necessary.

Also, the noun η φάρμα is already stated as the subject, so adding a pronoun would be unnecessary.

Ζώα means animals. It is the plural form of ζώο (animal).

So:

• ζώο = animal
• ζώα = animals

This is a neuter noun, and many neuter nouns in -ο form the plural in -α.

Greek often leaves some unspoken when English might include it.

So Η φάρμα έχει ζώα literally is:

• The farm has animals

But depending on context, English might also say:

• The farm has some animals

Greek does not need a separate word here unless the speaker wants to emphasize quantity more specifically.

Because the sentence is talking about animals in a general, indefinite way, not the animals specifically.

Compare:

• Η φάρμα έχει ζώα. = The farm has animals.
• Η φάρμα έχει τα ζώα. = The farm has the animals.

The second version would usually mean some specific animals already known in the conversation, so it would sound different in meaning.

This is the most straightforward Greek word order:

• subject + verb + object

So:

• Η φάρμα = subject
• έχει = verb
• ζώα = object

This matches normal English order quite well:

• The farm has animals

Greek word order can be more flexible than English, but this sentence uses the most basic and natural order.

A simple pronunciation guide is:

• Η φάρμα ≈ ee FAR-ma
• έχει ≈ EH-khee or EH-hee depending on accent and teaching style
• ζώα ≈ ZOH-a

A few helpful notes:

• η is pronounced like ee
• χ is a throaty sound, not exactly like English h
• ζ sounds like z
• ώ shows the stressed syllable

So the whole sentence is approximately:

• ee FAR-ma EH-khee ZOH-a

The accent marks show which syllable is stressed.

In this sentence:

• φάρμα → stress on φάρ-
• έχει → stress on έ-
• ζώα → stress on ζώ-

Stress matters in Greek pronunciation, so the accents are important and should be learned as part of the word.

It is pronounced as two syllables:

• ζώ-α

That is because it comes from ζώο in the singular and keeps separate vowel sounds in the plural.

So do not pronounce it like a single-syllable English-style word. It is clearly:

• ZOH-a

Yes, in a broad sense, έχει means has, and in English that can sometimes overlap with owns, contains, or keeps, depending on context.

But the basic and most natural meaning here is simply:

• The farm has animals

If you are just learning the sentence, has is the best translation to remember.
