  2. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 • 3rd declension nouns • 3rd declension nouns: stems in -κ, -τ • The present active imperative, second person of thematic verbs and εἰμί • Connection • μέν and δέ

  3. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 • 3rd declension nouns • 3rd declension nouns: stems in -κ, -τ • The present active imperative, second person of thematic verbs and εἰμί • Connection • μέν and δέ

  4. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 1. 3rd declension nouns • This chapter introduces 3rd declension nouns. This is the last declension in Greek. • The third declension contains nouns of all three genders (masculine, feminine, and neuter). • Some groups of 3rd declension nouns display certain irregularities, so we will learn this declension in stages across Chapters 8-15.

  5. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 1. 3rd declension nouns • The basic endings for 3rd declension nouns are: singular Nom. -ς Gen. -ος Dat. -ι Acc. -α Voc. = stem plural Nom. -ες Gen. -ων Dat. -σι(ν) Acc. -ας Voc. = nom.

  6. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 1. 3rd declension nouns • When the special rules for neuter nouns are applied, the basic endings are: singular Nom. = stem Gen. -ος Dat. -ι Acc. = nom. Voc. = nom. plural Nom. -α Gen. -ων Dat. -σι(ν) Acc. = nom. Voc. = nom.

  7. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 1. 3rd declension nouns As so often, adding a σ to a Greek word poses problems, so nouns of the 3rd declension differ in how to form the nominative singular (-ς ending) and dative plural (-σι ending).

  8. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 • 3rd declension nouns • 3rd declension nouns: stems in -κ, -τ • The present active imperative, second person of thematic verbs and εἰμί • Connection • μέν and δέ

  9. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 2. 3rd declension nouns: stems in -κ, -τ • Recall that a palatal (κ, γ, χ),when followed by a σ, is written ξ. • Consequently, when the stem of a third declension noun ends in a palatal(κ, γ, χ), the nominative singular and dative plural show ξ. • All such nouns are masculine or feminine. No neuter nouns in the third declension have stems ending in a palatal.

  10. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 2. 3rd declension nouns: stems in -κ, -τ • Thus the forms of κῆρυξ, κήρυκος ὁ“herald” singular Nom. κῆρυξ Gen. κήρυκος Dat. κήρυκι Acc. κήρυκα Voc. = nom. plural Nom. κήρυκες Gen. κηρύκων Dat. κήρυξι Acc. κήρυκας Voc. = nom.

  11. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 2. 3rd declension nouns: stems in -κ, -τ • As a rule, neuter nouns in the third declension have no ending in the nominative singular (and hence in the accusative and vocative singulars), leaving just the stem. • As a rule, words in Greek can end only in a vowel, ν, ρor ς. • The only exceptions are ἐκ “out of,” andοὐκ“not”

  12. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 2. 3rd declension nouns: stems in -κ, -τ • Most neuter nouns in the third declension have stems ending in –τ, but a Greek word cannot end in-τ, so it drops. • In the dative plural, τ + σ = σ, so the τdrops again.

  13. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 2. 3rd declension nouns: stems in -κ, -τ • Thus the forms of σῶμα, σώματος τό “body” singular Nom. σῶμα Gen. σώματος Dat. σώματι Acc. = nom. Voc. = nom. plural Nom. σώματα Gen. σωμάτων Dat. σώμασι Acc. = nom. Voc. = nom. nom. sg.: σωματ σωμα dat. pl.: σωματσι  σωμασι

  14. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 • 3rd declension nouns • 3rd declension nouns: stems in -κ, -τ • The present active imperative, 2nd person, of thematic verbs and εἰμί • Connection • μέν and δέ

  15. Shelmerdine Chapter 8parse/parsing • 1st, 2ndor 3RD PERSON • SINGULAR or PLURAL • PRESENT, IMPERFECT, FUTURE, AORIST, or PERFECT • INDICATIVE, IMPERATIVE • ACTIVE

  16. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 3. The present active imperative, 2nd person, of thematic verbs and εἰμί • This chapter introduces a new mood, the imperative. • The imperative expresses a direct command.

  17. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 3. The present active imperative, 2nd person, of thematic verbs and εἰμί • Since most often someone gives a command to the person to whom they are speaking, imperatives are most often 2nd person. • Greek has different forms for the singular imperative (commanding one person) and plural imperative (commanding multiple people).

  18. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 3. The present active imperative, 2nd person, of thematic verbs and εἰμί • The present imperative uses these endings: • -ε(singular) • -ετε (plural) • Thus • λῦε“be free!” • λύετε“[y’all] be free!” • Notice the plural form is identical with the indicative.

  19. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 3. The present active imperative, 2nd person, of thematic verbs and εἰμί • The present imperatives of εἰμί are: • ἴσθι“be…!” • ἔστε“[y’all] be…!” • Notice the plural form is identical with the indicative.

  20. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 3. The present active imperative, 2nd person, of thematic verbs and εἰμί • The imperative expresses a command, for example, • ἀεὶ πιστεύετε τοῖς ἀγαθοῖς ἀνθρώποις. • “Always trust good people.” • Vocatives logically accompany imperatives: • μένε ἐν τῇ κώμῃ, ὦ νεανία. • “Stay in the village, young man.”

  21. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 3. The present active imperative, 2nd person, of thematic verbs and εἰμί • To negate an imperative, use μή, not οὐ. • μὴ λῦε τὸν ἵππον, ὦ στρατιώτα. • “Don’t loose the horse, soldier.”

  22. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 • 3rd declension nouns • 3rd declension nouns: stems in -κ, -τ • The present active imperative, second person of thematic verbs and εἰμί • Connection • μέν and δέ

  23. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 4. Connection • Both English and Greek can connect simple sentences with “and” and “but” • ἡ Γοζίλαδιώκεικαὶφεύγομενεὐθύς. • “Gozilla is pursuing,and we run away immediately.” • ἡ Γοζίλα διώκειἀλλὰφεύγομενεὐθύς. • “Gozilla is pursuing,but we run away immediately.”

  24. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 4. Connection • Greek has conjunctions which are postpositive, that is, they must come second in their clauses • ἡ Γοζίλα διώκει, φεύγομενδὲ εὐθύς. • “Gozilla is pursuing,and we run away immediately.” • “Gozilla is pursuing,but we run away immediately.”

  25. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 4. Connection • Greek has conjunctions which are postpositive, that, is, they must come second in their clauses • φεύγομεν, ἡ γὰρΓοζίλα διώκει. • “We run away, for Gozilla is pursuing.” • “We run away, because Gozilla is pursuing.”

  26. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 4. Connection • Greek has conjunctions which are postpositive, that, is, they must come second in their clauses • ἡ Γοζίλα διώκει, φεύγομενοὖν εὐθύς. • “Gozilla is pursuing;therefore, we run away immediately.” • “Gozilla is pursuing,so we run away immediately.”

  27. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 4. Connection • The Greek conjunction τεis both postpositive and enclitic: • οἵ τε στρατιῶται καὶ οἱ ναῦται • “both the soldiers and the sailors” • οἱ στρατιῶταί τε καὶ ὁ στρατηγός • “both the soldiers and the general”

  28. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 4. Connection • As an enclitic, τεcan throw its accent on a preceding proclitic, like οὐ, and the two are often written as one word: • οἱ στρατιῶται διώκουσιν οὔτε τοὺς Πέρσας οὔτε τοὺς Ἀθηναίους. • “The soldiers pursue neither the Persians nor the Athenians.”

  29. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 4. Connection • If the negative isμή, the combination is written similarly: • ἐθέλω μήτε διώκειν μήτε φεύγειν. • “I want neither to pursue nor to flee.”

  30. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 4. Connection • MOST IMPORTANT: In Greek, normally every single sentence has a conjunction linking it to the previous sentence!

  31. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 • 3rd declension nouns • 3rd declension nouns: stems in -κ, -τ • The present active imperative, second person of thematic verbs and εἰμί • Connection • μέν and δέ

  32. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 5. μέν and δέ • Among the most common Greek conjunctions are μένandδέ, which are both postpositive • ἡ μὲν Γοζίλα διώκει, φεύγομενδὲ εὐθύς. • “Gozilla is pursuing,and we run away immediately.” • “Gozilla is pursuing,but we run away immediately.”

  33. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 5. μέν and δέ • Good Greek uses μένandδέ to contrast the items they follow: • ῥᾴδιον μέν ἐστι λέγειν, χαλεπὸν δὲ πείθειν. • It is easy to speak, but difficult to persuade. • ὁ μὲν ποιητὴς γράφει, ὁ δὲ κριτὴς διδάσκει. • The poet writes, and the judge teaches. • ὁ ποιητὴς γράφει μέν, διδάσκει δὲ οὔ. • The poet writes, but he does not teach. • ὁ ποιητὴς γράφει καλὰ μέν, μακρὰδέ. • The poet writes beautiful things, but long ones.

  34. Shelmerdine Chapter 8 5. μέν and δέ • Greek uses μένandδέ to contrast different sets of the same noun: • οἱ μένστρατιῶται ἐδίωκον, οἱ δὲ ἔφευγον. • “Some soldiers were pursuing, and others were fleeing.” • οἱ μέντῶν ποιητῶν πείθουσιν, οἱ δὲ οὔ. • “Someof the poets persuade, but others do not.” • οἱ μέν πιστεύουσι τοῖς λόγοις, οἱ δὲ τοῖς ὅπλοις. • Some (men) trust in words, others in weapons. • αἱ μέν πλούσιαί εἰσιν, αἱ δὲ οὔ. • Some (women) are wealthy, but others are not.
