Η δέσμευση συμβολαίου είναι για δύο χρόνια.

Η is the definite article in Greek, meaning the.

In this sentence, η δέσμευση means the commitment or the contract commitment/binding period.

A few helpful points:

• η is used with feminine singular nouns in the nominative case.
• The noun δέσμευση is feminine, so it takes η here.
• In Greek, articles are used very often, sometimes more often than in English.

Δέσμευση comes from the idea of being bound, committed, or obligated.

Depending on context, it can mean:

• commitment
• obligation
• binding period
• contractual commitment

In a sentence like this, especially in telecom, subscriptions, or service contracts, η δέσμευση συμβολαίου usually means the contract commitment period or minimum contract term.

So it is not just a general emotional commitment; it often has a practical, contractual meaning.

Because συμβολαίου is in the genitive case.

The basic form is:

• το συμβόλαιο = the contract

But in this sentence we have:

• δέσμευση συμβολαίου = literally commitment of contract

Greek often uses the genitive where English would use:

• of
• a noun used like an adjective
• a possessive relationship

So συμβολαίου means of a contract or contract-related.

This structure is very common in Greek:

• τιμή προϊόντος = price of product / product price
• διάρκεια μαθήματος = duration of the lesson / lesson duration
• δέσμευση συμβολαίου = contract commitment

Greek does not always need an article in this kind of noun phrase.

So:

• η δέσμευση συμβολαίου = the contract commitment
• η δέσμευση του συμβολαίου would mean something closer to the commitment of the contract or the contract’s commitment, which sounds more specific or more marked.

Without the article, συμβολαίου works almost like a classifying noun: it tells you what kind of commitment it is.

This is similar to English expressions like:

• contract term
• phone bill
• school bus

Greek often uses a noun in the genitive for this purpose.

Δέσμευση is in the nominative singular.

That is because it is the subject of the sentence:

• Η δέσμευση συμβολαίου = the subject
• είναι = is
• για δύο χρόνια = for two years

So the basic structure is:

• subject + verb + complement

The nominative form here is:

• η δέσμευση

Other forms of the same noun include:

• της δέσμευσης = of the commitment
• τη δέσμευση = the commitment (object)

Είναι is the 3rd person singular form of the verb είμαι, which means to be.

Here it means is:

• Η δέσμευση συμβολαίου είναι...
• The contract commitment is...

This is the normal form used with a singular subject like η δέσμευση.

A few related forms are:

• είμαι = I am
• είσαι = you are
• είναι = he/she/it is, they are

So είναι can mean both is and are, depending on the subject.

Here για means for, and it is used to express duration.

So:

• για δύο χρόνια = for two years

This is a very common Greek pattern:

• για μία εβδομάδα = for one week
• για τρεις μήνες = for three months
• για δύο χρόνια = for two years

So if you want to say how long something lasts, για + time expression is very common.

Δύο χρόνια is the normal way to say two years in everyday Greek.

Important details:

• δύο = two
• χρόνια = years

The singular is:

• χρόνος = year / time

But after δύο, we use the plural:

• δύο χρόνια

This is the everyday, natural expression for duration.

You may also see έτη in more formal contexts:

• δύο έτη = two years

But δύο χρόνια sounds much more natural in ordinary speech.

Yes. Χρόνια is the plural of χρόνος in the sense of years.

Greek neuter nouns often have:

• singular in -ο
• plural in -α

So:

• το χρόνο / τον χρόνο = the year
• τα χρόνια = the years

In this sentence, χρόνια is in the accusative plural, because it comes after για in a duration expression.

For a learner, the key thing is simply:

• ένα χρόνο = one year
• δύο χρόνια = two years
• τρία χρόνια = three years

Word-for-word, it is something like that, yes, but that is not natural English.

A more natural English translation would be:

• The contract commitment is for two years
• The contract term is two years
• The minimum contract period is two years

So while the Greek structure makes sense literally, the best English translation depends on context.

This is common when learning Greek: the grammar may line up only partly with natural English phrasing.

Yes, it is understandable and natural, especially in customer-service, telecom, subscription, or contract contexts.

But native speakers might also say things like:

• Το συμβόλαιο είναι για δύο χρόνια.
  = The contract is for two years.

• Η διάρκεια του συμβολαίου είναι δύο χρόνια.
  = The duration of the contract is two years.

• Η ελάχιστη διάρκεια συμβολαίου είναι δύο χρόνια.
  = The minimum contract term is two years.

Your sentence sounds slightly formal or business-like, which fits many real situations.

Yes, Greek word order is more flexible than English, but this order is the most straightforward and neutral.

The sentence is structured like this:

• Η δέσμευση συμβολαίου = subject
• είναι = verb
• για δύο χρόνια = complement giving duration

You could change the order for emphasis, for example:

• Για δύο χρόνια είναι η δέσμευση συμβολαίου.

But that sounds more marked or emphatic. The original version is the neutral one you are most likely to see in writing or hear in standard speech.

A simple pronunciation guide is:

ee DES-mef-see seem-vo-LAY-oo EE-neh ya THEE-o HRO-nya

A few notes:

• η sounds like ee
• δέσμευση has stress on δέ
• συμβολαίου has stress on λα
• είναι is often pronounced roughly EE-neh
• δύο sounds like THEE-o
• χ in χρόνια is a rough sound, like the h in huge for some speakers, or a softer throaty sound

The main stressed syllables are:

• ΔΕσμευση
• συμβοΛΑίου
• ΕΙναι
• ΔΥο
• ΧΡΟνια

Not always.

In this sentence, για makes the duration explicit:

• είναι για δύο χρόνια = is for two years

If you remove για, the sentence would sound less natural here:

• Η δέσμευση συμβολαίου είναι δύο χρόνια

That can still be understood, but είναι για δύο χρόνια is more idiomatic in this context.

Greek often uses για when talking about how long a contract, plan, or arrangement lasts.

The pattern is:

[article + noun + genitive noun] + [to be] + [για + duration]

So here:

• Η δέσμευση συμβολαίου = noun phrase
• είναι = linking verb
• για δύο χρόνια = duration phrase

You can build similar sentences with the same pattern:

• Η δοκιμαστική περίοδος είναι για έναν μήνα.
  = The trial period is for one month.

• Η άδεια χρήσης είναι για τρία χρόνια.
  = The license is for three years.

This makes the sentence a useful model for talking about terms, duration, and contracts in Greek.
