Questions & Answers about Το φίδι κρύβεται κάτω από την πέτρα.
Because Greek articles change to match the noun’s gender, number, and case.
- το φίδι = the snake
- την πέτρα = the stone / the rock
Here:
- το is the neuter singular form
- την is the feminine singular accusative form
So Greek does not use just one word for the the way English does.
Φίδι is neuter.
That is why it takes the article το:
- το φίδι = the snake
Its basic form is already φίδι. Many Greek neuter nouns often use το in the singular nominative and accusative.
