Translation tips From last time: The definite article needs to be supplied your English translations This definite article sometimes serves the function of a possessive adjective in English (e.g., his farm his life his home)
Grammar Terms Review
definite article: a prefix or suffix that is used with a noun to indicate the type of reference being made by the noun (in English: a/an) pronominal: pertaining to, resembling, derived from, or containing a pronoun

The Greek definite article (e.g., o) or w}) often goes untranslated in English. One exception is invoking the gods (e.g., O Zeus!) A pronominal subject often has to be supplied in English au)tourgo_v ga&r e)stin for he is a farmer

Translation tips From last time: Note that your adverb for not takes different forms, depending on the word that follows it. ou) before consonants (not verbs), ou)k before vowels; ou)x before diphthongs (e.g., ai) Be careful not to mistake the adverb ou}n (so or and so) with ou)k (not)!
Grammar Terms Review
adverbs: function as modifiers of verbs or clauses (versus modifying nouns or pronouns, which is the function of adjectives) conjunctions: words that function as connectors between words, phrases, clauses, or sentences

As we begin to translate sentences, our best approach will be to look for sense units. These units will often be punctuated by our conjunctions a)lla& (but) ga&r (for) kai& (and) You are John Lennon. These conjunctions are Paul, George and Ringo. They are your friends. You will make beautiful music together.

Translation tips From last time: Beyond: a)lla& (but) ga&r (for) kai& (and) Keep your eyes peeled for the particle: de& (and or but) So or And so can often help you get your Bearings in a sense unit as well: ou}n (and so)
NB (nota bene): ou}n, ga&r and de& are postpositive or placed after that is, they are never the first word in their clause

Grammar Terms Review


particle: a small word with functional or relational use within a sentence (for our purposes, it delineates a sense unit)
