Questions & Answers about Ο μικρός κοιμάται μόνο με το αρκουδάκι του.

Why does ο μικρός mean the little boy / the little one instead of just the small?

In Greek, an adjective can be used as a noun when it has an article.

So:

• μικρός = small, little
• ο μικρός = the little one / the little boy

This is very common in Greek. Depending on context, ο μικρός can mean:

• the little boy
• the younger one
• the son
• the little child

Here it refers to a male child.

What form is μικρός here?

μικρός is:

• masculine
• singular
• nominative

It matches ο, which is also masculine singular nominative.

So:

• ο μικρός = the little one (masculine subject)

It is in the nominative because it is the subject of the sentence.

Why is the verb κοιμάται and not something like κοιμάει or κοιμάταις?
