Questions & Answers about Η χρεωστική κάρτα είναι εδώ.

What does Η mean here?

Η is the feminine singular definite article, so it means the.

It matches κάρτα because κάρτα is a feminine noun. In this sentence:

• Η = the
• κάρτα = card

So Η κάρτα = the card.

Because it is at the beginning of the sentence, it is capitalized. In the middle of a sentence, it would be η.

Why is it χρεωστική and not some other form?

Because χρεωστική is an adjective, and in Greek adjectives must agree with the noun they describe in:

• gender
• number
• case

Since κάρτα is feminine singular nominative, the adjective must also be feminine singular nominative:

• masculine: χρεωστικός
• feminine: χρεωστική
• neuter: χρεωστικό

So:

• η χρεωστική κάρτα = the debit card

Why is the adjective before the noun? Can I say η κάρτα χρεωστική?
