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
ᾧ (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)
ὅ (Definite article or relative pronoun? How can you tell?)
ὀλίγος ὀλίγη ὀλίγον small, little, few
