Η δασκάλα επαναλαμβάνει τη λέξη αργά, για να τη γράψουμε σωστά.

In Greek, nouns very often appear with the definite article, and this is more common than in English. So Η δασκάλα literally means the teacher.

Here:

• η = the for a feminine singular noun in the nominative
• δασκάλα = teacher (female teacher)

Greek uses the article more naturally than English does, so seeing η δασκάλα is completely normal.

δασκάλα is in the nominative singular because it is the subject of the sentence: the person doing the action.

So in:

• Η δασκάλα επαναλαμβάνει...

  the teacher is the one who repeats, so δασκάλα stays in the nominative.

Because λέξη is the direct object of the verb επαναλαμβάνει.

The teacher is repeating the word, so the word receives the action. That means it must be in the accusative.

Compare:

• η λέξη = the word as subject
• τη λέξη = the word as object

So:

• Η λέξη είναι δύσκολη. = The word is difficult.
• Η δασκάλα επαναλαμβάνει τη λέξη. = The teacher repeats the word.

Both τη and την are forms of the feminine accusative singular article/pronoun in Modern Greek.

Before many consonants, especially in everyday speech and writing, την is often shortened to τη:

• την λέξη → τη λέξη

Both are understood, but τη λέξη is very common and natural.

The same thing happens later with the pronoun:

• τη γράψουμε instead of την γράψουμε

επαναλαμβάνει means he/she/it repeats or is repeating.

It is:

• 3rd person singular
• present tense
• from the verb επαναλαμβάνω = to repeat

It matches η δασκάλα, which is she:

• Η δασκάλα επαναλαμβάνει = The teacher repeats / is repeating

In Greek, the verb ending often tells you the subject, so no separate word for she is needed.

Here αργά is an adverb, meaning slowly.

It describes how the teacher repeats the word:

• επαναλαμβάνει ... αργά = repeats ... slowly

It comes from the adjective αργός / αργή / αργό = slow, but in this sentence it functions as an adverb.

για να means so that, in order to, or sometimes so ... can depending on the English translation.

In this sentence:

• για να τη γράψουμε σωστά means
• so that we write it correctly or more naturally in English
• so that we can write it correctly

This structure is extremely common in Greek:

• για να
  • verb in the subjunctive

γράψουμε is the 1st person plural aorist subjunctive form of γράφω = to write.

After να, Greek uses subjunctive forms. Here:

• να γράψουμε = that we write / for us to write / so that we write

More naturally in English in this sentence:

• so that we can write

The aorist stem is used because the action is seen as a single completed act: writing the word correctly.

So:

• να γράψουμε = to write it (as a complete act) rather than
• να γράφουμε = to be writing / to write repeatedly or continuously

This is a very common learner question.

• γράφουμε = we write / we are writing (present, indicative)
• γράψουμε = we write in a subjunctive sense after να, usually with a more complete or one-time action

After για να, Greek normally uses the subjunctive:

• για να γράψουμε = so that we write / can write

Using γράψουμε instead of γράφουμε suggests the goal is to produce the correct written form of the word, once and successfully.

The we is built into the verb ending -ουμε.

So:

• γράφω = I write
• γράφεις = you write
• γράφει = he/she/it writes
• γράφουμε / γράψουμε = we write

Greek often leaves out the subject pronoun when it is clear from the verb ending. So there is no need to say εμείς unless you want emphasis.

This τη is not the article the. It is a weak object pronoun, meaning it.

It refers back to τη λέξη:

• Η δασκάλα επαναλαμβάνει τη λέξη αργά, για να τη γράψουμε σωστά.
• The teacher repeats the word slowly so that we write it correctly.

So the two τη forms do different jobs:

• τη λέξη = article + noun = the word
• τη γράψουμε = pronoun = write it

In Greek, weak object pronouns usually come before the verb:

• τη γράψουμε = write it

This is normal Greek word order for clitic pronouns.

Compare:

• Τη βλέπω. = I see her/it.
• Θα τη γράψουμε. = We will write it.
• Για να τη γράψουμε... = So that we write it...

English puts it after the verb, but Greek usually puts τη before it.

σωστά means correctly.

Here it is an adverb, describing how we write the word:

• να τη γράψουμε σωστά = to write it correctly

It is related to the adjective σωστός / σωστή / σωστό = correct.

The comma separates the main clause from the purpose clause.

Main clause:

• Η δασκάλα επαναλαμβάνει τη λέξη αργά

Purpose clause:

• για να τη γράψουμε σωστά

So the comma helps show:

• what is happening
• and why it is happening

Greek punctuation often uses a comma in places where English also would.

Yes, Greek word order is more flexible than English word order, though some versions sound more natural than others.

This sentence could be rearranged slightly without changing the basic meaning, for example:

• Η δασκάλα επαναλαμβάνει αργά τη λέξη, για να τη γράψουμε σωστά.

But the given version is very natural. The position of αργά after τη λέξη sounds fine and keeps the sentence easy to follow.

The pronoun position, however, is less flexible:

• τη γράψουμε is the normal order, not γράψουμε τη

Yes. δασκάλα is feminine and refers to a female teacher.

The masculine form is:

• δάσκαλος = male teacher

So:

• Η δασκάλα = the female teacher
• Ο δάσκαλος = the male teacher

Greek often shows gender clearly in both the article and the noun ending.
