Questions & Answers about Η προδιαμόρφωση γίνεται πριν από την τελική διαμόρφωση.
Γίνεται is from γίνομαι, a very common verb that can mean several things depending on context, including:
- become
- happen
- take place
- be done / be carried out
In this sentence, γίνεται does not mean becomes. It means something more like:
- takes place
- is done
- is carried out
So the sentence is understood as:
- The preforming / pre-shaping is done before the final forming / shaping.
This is a very common thing for learners to notice: γίνομαι often has a broader meaning than just become.
Η is the feminine singular definite article, meaning the.
So:
- η προδιαμόρφωση = the preforming / pre-shaping
Greek articles show gender, number, and case, so they change form depending on the noun’s role in the sentence.
Here, προδιαμόρφωση is a feminine singular noun, and it is the subject of the sentence, so it takes the nominative article η.
