• Η = the; the feminine singular definite article
• ημερομηνία = date
• αξίας = of value; this is the genitive form of αξία
• είναι = is

So grammatically, the sentence is:

• Verb: είναι
• Time expression / complement: αύριο

The key phrase is ημερομηνία αξίας, which functions as one unit.

Why is there an Η at the beginning, and why does it look like English H?

Because ημερομηνία is a feminine singular noun, Greek uses the feminine singular definite article η.

So:

• η ημερομηνία = the date

At the beginning of the sentence, it is capitalized:

• Η ημερομηνία

Also, that letter is not the English H. It is the Greek capital letter Η / η (eta), and in Modern Greek it is pronounced ee.

So Η here sounds like ee, not h.

Why is it αξίας and not αξία?
