Questions & Answers about Αυτή η σειρά είναι πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα και δεν είναι βαρετή.

What does Αυτή η σειρά literally mean, and why are there two words (Αυτή and η) before σειρά?

Αυτή η σειρά literally means this series / this show.

• σειρά = a feminine noun meaning series, TV show, or sequence.
• η = the feminine singular definite article (the).
• Αυτή = a feminine demonstrative meaning this (one).

In modern Greek, the most natural way to say this + noun is:

• Αυτή η σειρά = this series
• Αυτό το βιβλίο = this book
• Αυτός ο άνθρωπος = this person/man

So Αυτή points to which series (this one), and η functions as the. Together they make the phrase feel specific and natural, like saying this particular show in English.

What gender is σειρά, and how do I know?

σειρά is a feminine noun.

You can tell from:

2. The adjectives agreeing with it: ενδιαφέρουσα, βαρετή are in the feminine form.
