Questions & Answers about Το IBAN είναι σωστό.

Why is there το before IBAN?

Το is the neuter singular definite article, meaning the.

In Greek, it is very common to use the definite article with a specific noun, even with foreign words and acronyms. Here, IBAN is treated like a neuter noun, so Greek says το IBAN = the IBAN.

Why is it σωστό and not σωστός or σωστή?

Greek adjectives must agree with the noun they describe in gender and number.

Here, IBAN is treated as neuter singular, so the adjective is also neuter singular:

• masculine: σωστός
• feminine: σωστή
• neuter: σωστό

So:

• Το IBAN είναι σωστό.

If you used a different noun, the adjective would change. For example:

• Ο αριθμός IBAN είναι σωστός. = The IBAN number is correct.

Here αριθμός is masculine, so the adjective becomes σωστός.
