Η δήλωση υιοθεσίας είναι έτοιμη.

Η is the feminine singular definite article, meaning the.

It matches δήλωση, which is a feminine singular noun:

• η δήλωση = the statement / the declaration

Greek articles change for gender, number, and case, so you cannot use just one form of the for every noun the way you do in English.

δήλωση is in the nominative singular because it is the subject of the sentence.

The basic structure is:

• Η δήλωση υιοθεσίας = the adoption statement
• είναι = is
• έτοιμη = ready

So δήλωση is the thing that is ready, which is why it appears in the nominative.

υιοθεσίας is the genitive singular of η υιοθεσία (adoption).

Here it means of adoption, so:

• δήλωση υιοθεσίας = statement of adoption / adoption statement

This is very common in Greek. Where English often uses noun + noun, Greek often uses:

• noun + genitive noun

Examples:

• πιστοποιητικό γέννησης = birth certificate
• άδεια εργασίας = work permit
• δήλωση υιοθεσίας = adoption statement/declaration

Greek often leaves out the article in this kind of genitive relationship, especially when the second noun functions almost like a category or type.

So:

• η δήλωση υιοθεσίας sounds natural for the adoption statement

You could sometimes see an article in other contexts, but here υιοθεσίας without an article is the normal and natural phrasing.

Because έτοιμη must agree with δήλωση, which is feminine singular.

The adjective έτοιμος (ready) changes form:

• έτοιμος = masculine singular
• έτοιμη = feminine singular
• έτοιμο = neuter singular

Since δήλωση is feminine:

• Η δήλωση είναι έτοιμη.

This kind of adjective agreement is a basic and very important feature of Greek.

είναι means is here. It is the 3rd person singular form of είμαι (to be).

Present tense forms of είμαι:

• είμαι = I am
• είσαι = you are
• είναι = he/she/it is
• είμαστε / είμαστe = we are
• είστε = you are
• είναι = they are

So in this sentence:

• Η δήλωση υιοθεσίας είναι έτοιμη.
• The adoption statement is ready.

Yes, Greek word order is more flexible than English.

The most neutral order here is:

• Η δήλωση υιοθεσίας είναι έτοιμη.

But you may also hear:

• Είναι έτοιμη η δήλωση υιοθεσίας.

That can sound a little more like:

• The adoption statement is ready or
• The adoption statement is ready now / ready, in fact

The meaning stays basically the same, but the emphasis can shift.

It can mean several related things depending on context.

δήλωση often means:

• statement
• declaration
• official declaration
• sometimes even form, if it refers to a document you submit

So δήλωση υιοθεσίας could be translated as:

• adoption statement
• declaration of adoption
• possibly adoption form, depending on the situation

Greek nouns often cover a range that English splits into more specific words.

A simple pronunciation guide:

• Η = ee
• δήλωση = THEE-lo-see
• υιοθεσίας = ee-o-the-SEE-as
• είναι = EE-ne
• έτοιμη = E-toi-mee

Very roughly:

• ee THEE-lo-see ee-o-the-SEE-as EE-ne E-toi-mee

A few useful stress points:

• δήλωση
• υιοθεσίας
• έτοιμη

Greek stress matters, so try to notice the accented syllable.

Because Greek uses case endings instead of a separate word in many situations.

In English:

• statement of adoption

In Greek:

• δήλωση υιοθεσίας

The ending -ας on υιοθεσίας already shows the of adoption relationship. That is one of the main jobs of the genitive case.

Yes, it sounds fairly formal or administrative, mainly because of the noun δήλωση and the overall context.

You would expect it in places like:

• legal documents
• government offices
• adoption paperwork
• official notifications

It is grammatically simple, but the vocabulary feels more official than everyday casual speech.
