ΙΙ. ΟΣΤΙΣ ΕΙΜΙ ΕΓΩ, Part II

ποῦ δ’ οἰκοῦμεν; ὅπου; ἔστι δὴ χωρίον ἐν ἀγροῖς, καὶ ἐν τῷ χωρίῳ οἰκία· ἡμεῖς μὲν οἰκοῦμεν ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ, ὁ δὲ Θράσυλλος γεωργεῖ ἐν τῷ χωρίῳ. ἆρ’ ἐρωτᾷς, τί ἐστι χωρίον; ἆρ’ οὐ δῆλον; ὁ γεωργὸς γὰρ ἔχει χωρίον, τὸ δὲ χωρίον τόπος ἐστὶν ἐν ᾧ γεωργεῖ γεωργός. χώρα μὲν γὰρ ἐστι τόπος, καὶ χωρίον ἐστὶ χώρα μικρά· λέγω δὲ οὕτως, ἐπειδὴ οὐκ εἶ σὺ Ἑλληνικὸν παιδίον. ἆρα δῆλόν σοι νῦν ἐστιν ὅ λέγω; τὸ δὲ χωρίον ἔχει ἀγροὺς οὐκ ὀλίγους.

    Notes

    Preliminary notes: 

    • The Greek Boy passages in AGE are drawn from Rouse, W. H. D. 1910. A Greek Boy at Home: A Story Written in Greek. In this story, a Greek boy is talking to you about his life.
    • All the nouns and adjectives in this passage use the same endings as αὐτός αὐτή αὐτό with one exception: the neuter nom./acc. sing. ends in -ον, not -ο.

    Abbreviations:

    • intr.: intransitive
    • trans.: transitive

     

    ποῦ where

    οἰκέω live, dwell

    ὅπου wherever; where (when used to repeat a question) 

    τὸ χωρίον χωρίου place; land; property

    ὁ ἀγρός ἀγροῦ field; countryside; farm

    ἡ οἰκία οἰκίας house; building

    • declines like αὐτή, though in the singular, the η case endings all become long α because of the preceding ι. (This rule is discussed in AGE 17.12). As a result, the singular of οἰκία is: οἰκία, οἰκίας, οἰκίᾳ, οἰκίαν

    ἡμεῖς we (nom. pl. of ἐγώ)

    γεωργέω be a farmer (intr.); till, plough, cultivate, farm (trans.)

    ἆρα (non-lexical word that indicates the sentence is a question)

    ἐρωτάω ask

    τί (Indefinite or interrogative pronoun? How can you tell?)

    δῆλος δήλη δῆλοv visible; clear

    • the antecedent is impersonal; "Is it οὐ δῆλοv?"

    ἔχω have; hold; possess

    ὁ τόπος τόπου place; region; topic

    (Relative pronoun! What is it's antecedent?)

    ἡ χώρα χώρας (= τὸ χωρίον χωρίου, though τὸ χωρίον can be used as a diminutive of ἡ χώρα)

    • declines like αὐτή, though in the singular, the η case endings all become long α because of the preceding ρ. (This rule is discussed in AGE 17.12). See note, above.

    μικρός μικρά μικρόν small, little, slight

    • The feminine, μικρά, declines like αὐτή, though in the singular, the η case endings all become long α because of the preceding ρ. See notes, above.

    οὕτως so, thus, in this way/manner

    ἐπειδή (= ἐπεί)

    Ἑλληνικός Ἑλληνική Ἑλληνικόν Greek

    τὸ παιδίον παιδίου child

    σοι you (dat. sing. of σύ)

    (Definite article or relative pronoun? How can you tell?)

    ὀλίγος ὀλίγη ὀλίγον small, little, few
