Questions & Answers about Η εφυάλωση γίνεται μετά την πρώτη όπτηση.
Why is there η at the beginning?
Η is the feminine singular definite article in the nominative case. It matches εφυάλωση, which is a feminine singular noun.
A native English speaker often expects no article with an abstract process, but Greek uses the definite article much more often than English does. So η εφυάλωση is perfectly natural Greek.
What kind of word is εφυάλωση?
Εφυάλωση is a noun, not a verb. It refers to the process of applying glaze.
It is:
- feminine
- singular
- here in the nominative, because it is the subject of the sentence
Also, the ending -ωση is very common in Greek for nouns that describe a process, action, or result.
Why is γίνεται used here? Does it literally mean is done?
