Η σπάτουλα ζύμης είναι δίπλα στο αλεύρι ολικής άλεσης.

Η is the feminine singular definite article, so here it means the. It goes with σπάτουλα because σπάτουλα is a feminine noun.

So:

• η σπάτουλα = the spatula

In this sentence, η σπάτουλα is the subject.

Greek often expresses this kind of idea by putting the main noun first and then a second noun in the genitive.

So:

• σπάτουλα ζύμης literally = spatula of dough
• natural English translation = dough spatula

English often uses a noun before another noun, but Greek commonly uses a noun + genitive structure instead.

The basic form is:

• η ζύμη = the dough

But here Greek uses the genitive singular:

• της ζύμης = of the dough

So ζύμης is the genitive form, used to show relationship or type. In this sentence it tells you what kind of spatula it is: a spatula for dough.

Because in Greek, when a noun is used to classify or specify another noun, the article is often left out.

So:

• σπάτουλα ζύμης = dough spatula

If you said η σπάτουλα της ζύμης, that would sound more like the spatula of the dough or the dough’s spatula, which is a more specific possessive idea and less natural here.

Είναι means is here. It is the present tense of είμαι, meaning to be.

So:

• είναι = is / are

A useful thing to know is that είναι is used for both he/she/it is and they are, so context tells you which one is meant.

Δίπλα means next to or beside.

It often works with σε plus the accusative:

• δίπλα σε κάτι = next to something

In this sentence, that becomes:

• δίπλα στο αλεύρι = next to the flour

So δίπλα is giving the location of the spatula.

Στο is a contraction of:

• σε + το = στο

So:

• σε το αλεύρι becomes στο αλεύρι

This is very common in Greek. Similar contractions include:

• στον = σε + τον
• στη = σε + τη(ν)
• στην = σε + την

Here στο αλεύρι means next to the flour because it follows δίπλα.

Because αλεύρι is a neuter noun, and in the singular its nominative and accusative forms are the same.

So you have:

• το αλεύρι = nominative
• στο αλεύρι = accusative after σε

The noun itself does not change form here; the article/preposition combination shows the grammar.

Ολικής άλεσης literally means something like of whole milling/grinding. In normal English, this corresponds to wholemeal or whole-wheat in a food context.

So:

• αλεύρι ολικής άλεσης = wholemeal flour / whole-wheat flour

Both ολικής and άλεσης are in the genitive feminine singular:

• ολικής = of whole
• άλεσης = of milling / grinding

This is a fixed expression in Greek, and it functions as a description of the flour.

Because the article belongs to the main noun, αλεύρι. The phrase ολικής άλεσης just describes what kind of flour it is.

So the structure is:

• το αλεύρι = the flour
• ολικής άλεσης = wholemeal / whole-wheat

Greek does not need another article there.

Yes. Greek word order is more flexible than English word order.

The sentence as given is neutral:

• Η σπάτουλα ζύμης είναι δίπλα στο αλεύρι ολικής άλεσης.

But you could also say:

• Δίπλα στο αλεύρι ολικής άλεσης είναι η σπάτουλα ζύμης.

That would put more emphasis on the location. The core meaning stays the same.

A rough pronunciation is:

• ee SPA-too-la ZEE-mees EE-ne THEE-pla sto a-LEV-ree o-lee-KEES A-le-sis

A few helpful notes:

• σπ in σπάτουλα sounds like sp
• ζ in ζύμης sounds like z
• δ in δίπλα sounds like the th in this
• ευ in αλεύρι here sounds like ev

The written accent marks show the stressed syllables:

• σπάτουλα
• ζύμης
• είναι
• δίπλα
• αλεύρι
• ολικής
• άλεσης
