Questions & Answers about Το χιούμορ βοηθάει σε δύσκολες στιγμές.
Why is there το before χιούμορ?
Το is the neuter singular definite article. Greek often uses the article with abstract nouns more naturally than English does, so το χιούμορ is the normal way to say humor as a general idea.
What gender is χιούμορ, and does it change form?
Χιούμορ is treated as a neuter singular noun. It is also a loanword and is usually indeclinable, which means the noun itself normally stays χιούμορ while the article changes if needed: το χιούμορ, του χιούμορ, με το χιούμορ.
How do you pronounce χιούμορ?
Roughly HYOO-mor, with the stress on the first syllable.
A more accurate note: Greek χ is not the English h sound. Before ι, it sounds like the ch in German ich, or a soft hissy sound made farther back in the mouth.
