Questions & Answers about Ο καιρός είναι ασυνήθιστος σήμερα.

Why is there an ο before καιρός?

Ο is the definite article the in the masculine singular nominative form.

Greek usually uses the article with nouns in normal sentences, so ο καιρός is the natural way to say the weather. If you dropped the article and said just καιρός, it would sound less like an ordinary full sentence and more like a headline, note, or dictionary style.

Does καιρός only mean weather?

No. Καιρός is a very common Greek word with more than one meaning. Depending on context, it can mean:

• weather
• time
• season
• the right moment / opportunity

In this sentence, because of σήμερα and the general context, it clearly means weather.
