Questions & Answers about Ο εμβολιασμός έγινε χτες.

Why is there an Ο at the beginning?

Ο is the definite article meaning the.

It appears as ο because εμβολιασμός is a masculine singular noun in the nominative case.

So:

• ο εμβολιασμός = the vaccination

Greek articles change according to gender, number, and case, unlike English the, which always stays the same.

What exactly does εμβολιασμός mean?

εμβολιασμός means vaccination.

A learner may confuse it with εμβόλιο, but they are different:

• εμβολιασμός = vaccination (the process/event)
• εμβόλιο = vaccine (the shot/substance)

So this sentence is talking about the vaccination event, not the vaccine itself.
