GREEK THROUGH ENGLISH
GRAMMAR III— Pronouns and ποΧύς
The Demonstrative Pronouns in Greek are ovro<;, this,
and εκεΐΐ'ος, that. When they qualify a noun, it must
take the article, as ουτο? 6 άνήρ, or ό άνηρ ούτος (never
6 οντο<; άνήρ). ούτος άνήρ means "this is a man"; for
άνήρ is then the predicate, εστί being omitted. They
may also be used independently ; ούτος, this man ;
εκείνος, that man.
ούτος is thus declined : —
€Κ€Ϊνος has in the neuter nom. and ace. singular
eKSLvo ; the rest is declined like κάλ-ός.
•ποΧνς means ?u//c/i, in the plural many, and is thus
declined : —
