| <center>GRAMMAR OF ATHONITE, THAT IS, THE GREEK DIALECT SPOKEN IN THE SERENE MONASTIC REPUBLIC OF THE HOLY MOUNTAIN</center>
| |
| | |
| ==Introduction - '''Ειςαγώγ'''==
| |
| *Although Modern Greek is the official language of the Monastic Republic and is spoken in the Greek monasteries, the citizens have their own dialect.
| |
| *It developed from their contact with their Turkish conquerors and shows some Turkish influence in grammar and vocabulary.
| |
| *Many internal differences have been regularized, such as simplification of the verb tenses.
| |
| *A spelling reform, devised by a monk, has standardized the orthography so that it is more consistent with the pronunciation, ''e.g.'', '''αι''' > '''ε'''; '''οι''' > '''ι'''; '''η''' > '''ι'''. | |
| *Double letters have been eliminated.
| |
| *'''σ''' has been replaced by '''ς'''.
| |
| *Some initial consonant clusters have been simplified, ''e.g.'', '''κτ''' > '''τ'''; '''πτ''' > '''τ'''.
| |
| *The accent regularly occurs on the [[Wikipedia:Ultima (linguistics|penultimate]] syllable.
| |
| *An acute accent is placed over an accented vowel when the accent is not on the penultima. | |
| *Words of Turkish origin are indicated in <font color=blue>blue</font>.

| ==Grammar - '''Γραματίκ'''==
| |
| ===The Definite Article - '''Το Συγκεκριμέν Αρθ'''===
| |
| *001. The Modern Greek definite article has been reduced to one single form for each gender: '''ο''' for masucline nouns, '''ι''' for feminine nouns, and '''το''' for neuter nouns.
| |
| | |
| ====Uses of the definite article - '''Χριςι του Συγκεκριμέν Αρθ'''====
| |
| # Before proper names, ''e.g.'', '''Ο Γιοργ εινε καλ πεδ'''; George is a good boy.
| |
| # Before the names of places, ''e.g.'', '''Ι αθιν εινε ι πρotεvυς απ' ι Elάδ'''; Athens is the capital of Greece.
| |
| # Before the names of streets, ''e.g.'', '''Mένo ς' ι οδό Σταδí'''; I live on Stadium Street.
| |
| # Before titles of names of professions followed by a person's name, ''e.g.'', '''Ο γατ Eυγενιδες κιρ εινε πolύ πloυς'''; Dr. Eugenides is very rich.
| |
| # Before nouns used in an abstract or general sense, ''e.g.'', '''I ιλικρινι εινε ι πιo μεγάλ αρεt'''; Sincerity is the greatest virtue.
| |
| # Before nouns designating parts of the body or personal articles of clothing, ''e.g.'', '''To μαλιά απ' ι Mαρíα εινε χανθ'''; Mary's hair is blond.
| |
| # Before nouns modified by a possessive adjective which follows the noun, ''e.g.'', '''Ο αδελφ μου ο Γιαν εχι καλ δoυλί'''; My brother John has a good job.
| |
| # Before nouns modified by a demonstrative which always follows the noun ''e.g.'', '''I κοπέλ αυτ εινε πολύ oρέ'''; This girl is very beautiful.
| |
| # Before a noun indicating a class of objects or persons, ''e.g.'', '''Ο <font color=blue>πoλίςι</font> εινε αυςτίρ'''; Policemen are strict.
| |
| | |
| ===The Indefinite Article - '''Το Αοριςτ Αρθ'''===
| |
| *002. There is no indefinite article in Athonite.
| |
| | |
| ===Nouns - '''Ουςιαςτικί'''===
| |
| *003. Nouns are divided into three classes known as masculine, feminine, and neuter.
| |
| *004. Masculine nouns are those preceded in the nominative case by the definite article '''ο''', ''e.g.'', '''ο ανθρoπ''', the man; '''ο πατέρ''', the father.
| |
| *005. Feminine nouns are those preceded in the nominative case by the definite article '''ι''', ''e.g.'', '''ι πορτ''', the door; '''ι γυνέκ''', the woman.
| |
| *006. Neuter nouns are those preceded in the nominative case by the definite article '''το''', '''e.g.''', '''το γραfί'', the office; '''το πεδ''', the child.
| |
| | |
| ====Noun Formation - '''Σχηματίς απ' Ουςιαςτικα'''====
| |
| *007. Athonite nouns are formed by dropping the nominative singular ending of the Greek noun.
| |
| *008. The accent remains on the same stem if it is in the root, ''e.g.'', '''πατέρας''' > '''πατέρ'''.
| |
| *009. If the accent is on the ending, it reverts to the final syllable, ''e.g.'', '''αδελφός''' > '''αδέλφ'''.
| |
| *010. Some neuter nouns end in '''-ίον'''. These nouns drop the '''-ον''' to end in '''-ί''', ''e.g.'', '''χαρτίον''' > '''χαρτί'''.
| |
| *011. Nouns of the third declension, characterized by an increase in the genitive, use the genitive stem for the nominative, ''e.g.'', '''ελπίς''', '''ελπίδος''' > '''ελπίδ'''.
| |
| *012. Nouns the root of which end in -Cr, -Cn, and -Cl drop the -Cx, ''e.g.'', '''δένδρος''' gives the Athonite '''δενδ'''. These nouns then restore the dropped consonant in the plural, '''δενδρι'''.
| |
| | |
| ====The Plural - '''Ο Πλιθυντικό'''====
| |
| *013. Nouns form their plurals by adding a suffix to the word.
| |
| *014. Masculine nouns of whatever type in Greek, add '''-ι'''.
| |
| ::'''ο αδέλφ''', the brother, '''ο αδελφί''', the brothers
| |
| ::'''ο ανθρoπ''', the man, '''ο άνθρoπι''', the men
| |
| ::'''ο εργάτ''', the worker, '''ο εργάτι''', the workers

| *015. Feminine nouns of whatever type in Greek, add '''-ι'''.

| |
| ::'''ι μερ''', the day, '''ι μερι ''', the days
| |
| ::'''ι vαρκ''', the boat, '''ι vαρκι''', the boats
| |
| *016. Neuter nouns which end in '''-μα''' add '''-τα'''.
| |
| ::'''το χρομα''', the color; '''το χρόματα''', the colors
| |
| *017. Other neuter nouns add '''-α'''.
| |
| ::'''το τςιγάρ''', the cigarette, '''το τςιγαρα''', the cigarettes
| |
| ::'''το αμαχι''', the cart, '''το αμάχια''', the carts
| |
| *018. There are a few irregular plurals:
| |
| ::'''το φος''', the light; '''το φοτα''', the colors
| |
| | |
| ====The Function of Cases - '''Η Λειτουργί απο Τωςι'''====

| *019. Possession and other types of genitive use are indicated with the preposition '''από''', contracted to '''απ'''' before a vowel.
| |
| ::'''ο θι''', the uncle > '''απ' ο θι''', of the uncle
| |
| ::'''ι θι''', the aunt > '''απ' ι θι''', of the aunt
| |
| ::'''το ποδ''', the foot > '''από το ποδ''', of the foot
| |
| ::'''ο θίι''', the uncles > '''απ' ο θίι''', of the uncles
| |
| ::'''ι θίι''', the aunts > '''απ' ι θίι''', of the aunts
| |
| ::'''το ποδa''', the feet > '''από το ποδa''', of the feet
| |
| *020. The indirect object is expressed with the preposition '''ςε''', contracted to '''ς'''' before a vowel and prefixed to pronouns.
| |
| ::'''ο Γιαν δίνει σ' ο Μιχαήλ δωρ''' John gives Michael a cigarette.
| |
| ::'''έδοςα σ' ο γιοργ βιβλί''', I gave George a book.
| |
| *021. When the objects are pronouns the indirect is placed in front of the direct and in front of the verb.
| |
| ::'''Στου έδοςα βιβλί ''', I gave him a book.
| |
| ::'''Θα ςε ςου ςτειλ το πράματα''', I shall send you the things.
| |
| *022. When the verb is in the imperative the pronouns are placed after it.
| |
| ::'''Δοςε ςτις <font color=blue>μπαζ ςου</font>''', Give her some water.
| |
| ::'''Δοςε ςτις το''', Give it to her.
| |
| | |
| | |
| ===Adjectives - '''Επίθετα'''===
| |
| *023. Adjectives in Athonite are indeclinable. They are derived from Modern Greek adjectives in the same way as the nouns.
| |
| *024. Adjectives precede the noun they modify.

| |
| **'''ι καλ γυνέκ''', the good woman

| |
| **'''το μεγάλ δoμάτi''', the large room

| |
| **'''το δωματι εκίν''', that room
| |
| | |
| ====Comparison of Adjectives - '''Συγκρις απ' Επίθετα'''====
| |
| *026. Adjectives form the comparative degree by placing the word '''πιο''', 'more', in front them. They are then followed by από.
| |
