Questions & Answers about Η αλλαγή προκαλεί ανησυχία.

Is the initial Η the same as the English letter H?

No. Greek capital Η is not the English H.

In this sentence, Η is the capital form of η, the feminine singular definite article, meaning the.

It is pronounced ee, not h.

So Η αλλαγή means the change.

Why does αλλαγή use the article η?

Because αλλαγή is a feminine singular noun in Greek.

Greek articles agree with the noun in:

• gender
• number
• case

So:

• η αλλαγή = the change
• η shows that the noun is feminine, singular, and here nominative

English only has one definite article, the, but Greek has different forms depending on the noun.
