Questions & Answers about Η βεβαιότητα ότι όλα είναι καλά με κάνει να νιώθω πιο ήρεμος.
It breaks down like this:
- Η βεβαιότητα ότι όλα είναι καλά = the certainty that everything is fine
- με κάνει = makes me
- να νιώθω πιο ήρεμος = feel calmer / feel more calm
So the pattern is:
[subject] + με κάνει + να + verb
A very useful chunk to learn is:
- κάτι με κάνει να... = something makes me...
For example:
- Αυτό με κάνει να χαμογελώ. = That makes me smile.
βεβαιότητα means certainty or assurance.
The article η is there because the noun phrase is the subject of the sentence:
- Η βεβαιότητα ότι όλα είναι καλά = The certainty that everything is fine
Greek often uses the definite article more naturally than English, including with abstract nouns. So even where English might sometimes say certainty, Greek often prefers η βεβαιότητα.
Also, βεβαιότητα is a feminine noun, so it takes η.
