Το πλάτος είναι σωστό.

Word by word:

• Το = the
• πλάτος = width / breadth
• είναι = is
• σωστό = correct / right

So the sentence means something like The width is correct.

Το is the definite article: the.

Greek uses the definite article very often, including in places where English might or might not use the. In this sentence, το πλάτος means the width.

Also, Greek articles show gender, number, and case. Here:

• το = the for a neuter singular noun in the nominative or accusative
• πλάτος is a neuter singular noun

So το matches πλάτος.

Yes. πλάτος is neuter.

That matters because adjectives and articles in Greek usually agree with the noun they describe in:

• gender
• number
• case

Since πλάτος is neuter singular, the article is το and the adjective is σωστό.

If the noun were masculine or feminine, the adjective form would change.

Because σωστό has to agree with πλάτος, which is neuter singular.

The adjective σωστός, σωστή, σωστό means correct/right. Its forms change by gender:

• σωστός = masculine
• σωστή = feminine
• σωστό = neuter

Since πλάτος is neuter, Greek uses σωστό.

Here πλάτος is in the nominative singular, because it is the subject of the sentence.

The sentence structure is:

• Το πλάτος = the subject
• είναι = the verb
• σωστό = predicate adjective

A useful extra note: πλάτος belongs to a common neuter pattern in -ος. Its genitive singular is πλάτους.

Είναι is the 3rd person singular form of είμαι (to be), so it means is.

In this sentence, it links the subject and the adjective:

• Το πλάτος = the width
• είναι = is
• σωστό = correct

So it works just like English is in The width is correct.

In a normal full sentence, είναι is usually kept: Το πλάτος είναι σωστό.

You may sometimes see the verb omitted in:

• notes
• labels
• headlines
• very informal contexts

For example, Το πλάτος σωστό might appear in a shorthand note, but as standard Greek, Το πλάτος είναι σωστό is the natural full sentence.

Yes, Greek word order is more flexible than English.

The most neutral order here is:

• Το πλάτος είναι σωστό.

But other orders are possible for emphasis, such as:

• Σωστό είναι το πλάτος.
• Είναι σωστό το πλάτος.

These do not usually change the basic meaning, but they can change the focus or emphasis. For a learner, the original order is the safest and most natural.

Usually, yes, but it can also be understood as breadth, depending on context.

For example:

• in measurements: width
• in geometry or technical contexts: breadth
• sometimes in a more abstract sense: extent

In most everyday situations, width is the best translation.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

• Το = to
• πλάτος = PLA-tos
• είναι = EE-ne
• σωστό = so-STO

A more careful note:

• π = p
• λά is stressed
• ει in είναι sounds like ee
• ω and ο are both pronounced o in Modern Greek
• στό is stressed in σωστό

So overall: to PLA-tos EE-ne so-STO

The accent mark shows which syllable is stressed.

So:

• πλάτος → stress on πλά-
• είναι → stress on εί-
• σωστό → stress on -στό

Stress is important in Greek pronunciation, and accents are normally written in standard spelling.

Possibly in context, yes.

Literally, πλάτος means width/breadth, but in real situations a speaker may be talking about a dimension on a form, a design, or an object. So depending on context, English might translate it more naturally as:

• The width is correct.
• The measurement is correct.
• The dimension is right.

But the Greek word itself still specifically points to width/breadth, not just any measurement.

No. σωστός, σωστή, σωστό is a very common adjective and can mean:

• correct
• right
• proper
• appropriate

In this sentence, σωστό means the width is correct/right.

Greek also has other words for related ideas, but σωστό is one of the most common and useful everyday choices.
