Questions & Answers about Η αιμορραγία συνεχίζεται.

How do I pronounce Η αιμορραγία συνεχίζεται?

A good approximate pronunciation is:

ee eh-mo-ra-YEE-a see-neh-HEE-zeh-teh

More exactly, in IPA, it is:

[i emoraˈʝia sineˈçizete]

A few useful sound notes:

• Η sounds like ee
• αι sounds like e as in met
• γ before ι sounds like a y-like sound
• χ before ι is a soft sound, a bit like the h in a very breathy hue, or German ich

Why is Η pronounced i and not like the English letter H?

Because Greek Η / η is a Greek letter, not the English letter H, even though the capital form looks the same.

In Modern Greek, η is pronounced i. In this sentence, Η is also the feminine singular form of the.

So here Η means the, and it is pronounced ee, not h.

What exactly is η doing in this sentence?

η is the definite article: the.

More specifically, it is:

• feminine
• singular
• nominative

It matches αιμορραγία, which is also feminine singular nominative. Greek articles must agree with the noun in gender, number, and case.
