Questions & Answers about Η γεύση αλλάζει τελείως όταν βάζεις σκόρδο και μαϊντανό στη σάλτσα.
Why is there an article in Η γεύση?
In Greek, nouns are used with the definite article much more often than in English.
- η γεύση = the taste / the flavor
- η is the feminine singular nominative article
- γεύση is a feminine noun
So Greek naturally says Η γεύση αλλάζει..., where English might say either The taste changes... or just Taste changes... depending on context.
What form is αλλάζει, and why is it used here?
αλλάζει is the 3rd person singular present tense of αλλάζω = to change.
It is used because the subject is η γεύση:
- η γεύση = the taste
- αλλάζει = changes
So literally:
- Η γεύση αλλάζει = The taste changes
The verb is singular because η γεύση is singular.
Why does the sentence use βάζεις if there is no written word for you?
