Questions & Answers about Η κάρτα μνήμης είναι γεμάτη.

What does each word in Η κάρτα μνήμης είναι γεμάτη mean?

Word by word, it is:

• Η = the
• κάρτα = card
• μνήμης = of memory
• είναι = is
• γεμάτη = full (feminine singular)

So the structure is literally The card of memory is full, which is how Greek expresses The memory card is full.

Why is it μνήμης and not μνήμη?

Because μνήμης is the genitive singular form of μνήμη.

Greek often uses noun + genitive where English uses a compound noun. So:

• κάρτα μνήμης = literally card of memory
• natural English = memory card

This is a very common Greek pattern. A native English speaker may expect something like memory card with two nouns side by side, but Greek usually marks that relationship with the genitive.

Why is γεμάτη feminine?
