Questions & Answers about Αυτό το πεδίο είναι σημαντικό.

Why is it αυτό and not αυτή or αυτός?

Because πεδίο is a neuter singular noun.

In Greek, words like this must agree with the noun they describe in gender, number, and case.

For this in the nominative singular:

• αυτός = masculine
• αυτή = feminine
• αυτό = neuter

Since το πεδίο is neuter singular, Greek uses αυτό.

Why are there two words before πεδίο: αυτό το?

Greek commonly uses both the demonstrative and the definite article together:

• αυτό το πεδίο = this field

So:

• αυτό = this
• το = the
• πεδίο = field

This is normal Greek structure. English says just this field, but Greek usually says literally something like this the field.
