Questions & Answers about Η μεταβίβαση αρχίζει αύριο.

Why is there an η at the beginning of the sentence?

Η is the definite article in Greek, equivalent to the in English.

Here it goes with μεταβίβαση because that noun is:

• feminine
• singular
• nominative (the subject of the sentence)

So:

• η μεταβίβαση = the transfer

What does μεταβίβαση mean exactly?

Μεταβίβαση means transfer, conveyance, or passing something over to someone else, depending on context.

It is often used in fairly formal contexts, such as:

• transfer of property
• transfer of ownership
• transfer of rights
• transfer of a file or asset

So the sentence sounds a bit formal or administrative rather than casual.

What form is αρχίζει?

Αρχίζει is the 3rd person singular form of the verb αρχίζω, meaning to begin or to start.

So:

• αρχίζω = I begin / start
• αρχίζεις = you begin
• αρχίζει = he/she/it begins

In this sentence, the subject is η μεταβίβαση, which is singular, so αρχίζει is the correct form.

Why is αρχίζει in the present tense if the sentence is about tomorrow?
