Questions & Answers about Ο κιθαρίστας, ο ντράμερ και ο μπασίστας παίζουν μαζί.

Why is ο used before each noun?

Because each noun is a separate definite noun phrase:

• ο κιθαρίστας = the guitarist
• ο ντράμερ = the drummer
• ο μπασίστας = the bassist

In Greek, when you list definite nouns, it is very common to repeat the article before each one. This sounds natural and clear.

So:

• Ο κιθαρίστας, ο ντράμερ και ο μπασίστας...

is a very normal way to say the guitarist, the drummer, and the bassist...

Why is the verb παίζουν plural if each noun is singular?

Each person in the list is singular, but together they form a plural subject:

• the guitarist
• the drummer
• the bassist

Since all three people are doing the action, Greek uses the 3rd person plural verb form:

• παίζουν = they play / are playing

This works just like English:
The guitarist, the drummer, and the bassist play together.
