Questions & Answers about Ο οπαδός χαίρεται πολύ όταν βλέπει γκολ.

Why is there an ο at the beginning of Ο οπαδός?

Ο is the masculine singular definite article, equivalent to the in English.

So:

• ο = the
• οπαδός = fan / supporter

Together, ο οπαδός means the fan or the supporter.

In Greek, nouns usually appear with an article much more often than in English, especially when talking about a specific person or a general type in a definite way.

What case is οπαδός, and how can I tell?

οπαδός is in the nominative singular because it is the subject of the sentence.

You can tell this from:

• the article ο, which is nominative masculine singular
• the role of the noun: the fan is the one who is happy and sees

So:

• ο οπαδός = nominative singular masculine
• it functions as the subject

Why is the verb χαίρεται ending in -ται? Is it passive?
