Appendix:Greek pronouns

Emphatic pronouns are used to emphasise and should be pronounced with greater stress; they do not have to be dependent on a verb.

1. In colloquial speech, these nominative forms may lose their initial ε; the use of an apostrophe in the written form is optional: e.g. ήρθα 'γώ (I came) 2. Accusative forms lose their initial ε when following από or για, and no apostrophe is used. The plural forms become monosyllabic and therefore lose the accent. e.g. για μας (for us) 3. The final ν is optional. It is used before a following vowel or the letters κ, π, τ, ξ, ψ, μπ, ντ, γκ, τσ, τζ.

These single syllable personal pronouns cannot be used on their own; they are dependent on other words in the sentence.

1. The final ν is optional. It is used before a following vowel or the letters κ, π, τ, ξ, ψ, μπ, ντ, γκ, τσ, τζ. 2. τις is used before a verb, τες after a verb. e.g. Αν τις* δεις, πες τες να έρθουν.* (If you see them, tell them to come.)

These pronouns are the same as the genitive forms of the weak personal pronouns.

Greek	μου	σου	του	της	του	μας	σας	τους	τους	τους

Possessive personal pronouns may be preceded by the declinable δικός, δική δικό to stress possession.

Τα αγόρια θα αγοράσουν καραμέλες με τα δικά τους χρήματα. (Ta agória tha agorásoun karaméles me ta diká tous chrímata., “The boys will buy sweets with their own money.”)
