- ✅In this video, I’ll teach you three of the most common tenses in Greek starting with Group A verbs. I prepared plenty of examples and phrases and I am SURE in the end of this video you will have a complete idea 💡 about Greek present, future and past!
➡️It is an intense lesson so get your notebooks ready!
STEP BY STEP
What is a grammatical aspect?
The grammatical aspect of a verb has to do with duration. We have two main categories. Imperfective and perfective. If the action is in progress or repeated bloodstream perfect. Perfect device that has the simple present in Greek. On the other hand, perfective is an action completed at one point. Future simple and past simple fall into this category.
How does this categorisation affect verbs?
As in real life, the present creates the future and the past. So if you are familiar with imperfective you can easily create perfective just by changing a verb’s stem.
When do we use Simple present?
-To describe an action that happened at the moment of speaking
-To express a general truth
-To give instructions or directions
-To express fixed arrangement
-Habit
-To express spontaneous decisions
When do we use Simple future?
-To predict future events
-With “you” to give orders
-Promises
-To express willingness
When do we use Simple past?
-To talk about a completed action in a time before now. The time of the action can be in the recent past or the distance and action duration isn’t important.
Remember:
-Simple Present and Simple Future has common endings.
-Simple future in simple past has common stem.
-In order to create Simple Future we always use the particle «θα» before the verb.
-In simple past the third syllable from the end gets the accent if the verb doesn’t have the syllables we had the prefix «-ε» to boost it.
Thank you so much for making such videos for Greek learners. Sending hugs and kisses from The Philippines! 🇵🇭 ♡
Young lady, you're just saving my life.
I wanted to get this kind of lesson for a long time.
From Brazil
Great videos! By the way, the English word "stem" is pronounced like «στεμ» και όχι «στιμ». Thank you for all your wonderful work!
Thank you so much!! When I realised my mistake, it was already too late 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ It’s very kind of you to let me know 😊
I love your videos. You speak so clearly and explain things so well. I learn a lot from them. This one is great. Just one comment: the tenses are called perfect and imperfect in English, not perfective and imperfective.
thank you for the explanation - it is much clearer now
Thank you 😊
That was a brilliant lesson Yulie.
I was a bit confused when you started talking about steam, but when I saw it written I understood that you meant stem (which rhymes with then).
Thank you so much!!!! Greetings from Mexico!! 🥰🥰🇲🇽
I have been searching this for so long time thank you ❤️this was a very easy video
Μεγάλο μάθημα και πολύ καλές εξηγήσεις - Μπράβα!
P Mo thank you so much ❤️
Ευχαριστώ πολύ! Greetings from Brasil 🇧🇷🙏🏼❤

Wow, the verb endings are very similar to Latin languages! It’s like a mixture of Spanish and Italian endings
both spanish and italian came from latin… latin came from greek but there are def some similarities and same words.
@@alyssa633 Latin did not come from Greek.
Really helpful, brief video! I would appreciate more clarity on the relationship between aspect and tense, because you talked about three tenses and two aspects but then referred to past simple and future simple. Were those past perfective and future perfective? And present simple was present imperfective? I didn’t find that clear. Thanks!
nice! thank you for explaining! Καλό σαββατοκύριακο!
πραγματικά, πολύ καλό βίντεο, ήδη περιμένω την παθητική φωνή χαχα

Is there part 2?
good
Thank you very much. I wonder, can the perfective aspect of present tense be used alone (without θα)? E.g. can we say κλείσω το πόρτα ?
No, because the dependent form always goes with a particle.
Thank you so much! Short and helpful.
Γεια σου. Wow, everything in the one video. Wow! It was a nice bit of revision for me. Καλή Δουλειά. Σε ευχαριστώ!
Zenaib Abaid Χαίρομαι που σου άρεσε ❤️
Linguatree ❤️❤️❤️i was saying the conjugation with you 😊. I have a wee question. Πλέκω; sorry if I spelt it wrong, what does it mean? I didn’t catch it. Can you please use it in a sentence? I have never seen this verb before
Zenaib Abaid πλέκω means knit 🧶
Linguatree oooh. No wonder I haven’t heard it! Thank you. Τώρα καταλαβαίνω😊
Πολύ ωραίο!
Did you do group B? 🥹
thank uuuuuu so much
καταπληκτικο βίντεο, οι χρόνοι τους οποίους μιλήσατε ήταν ο ενετότας, ο συνοπτικος και ο αόριστος, σωστά;
Ναι σωστά!!
ΟΛΑ ΤΕΛΕΙΑ
This video was very informative! I only noticed two small errors: You say, “If the verb stem ends with the vowel nee, theta or zeta, then it becomes sigma”. First, nee, theta and zeta are consonants, not vowels. Second, you didn’t give an example of a verb stem that ends in a theta such as “πείθω / θα πείσω”. Otherwise, good work.
Hi there, I didn’t say that ν, θ and ζ are vowels, I said if a verb’s stem ends in a vowel, ν, θ or ζ. For example the verb ακούω.. This verb’s stem ends in a vowel.
Αν υπάρχει τέτοια μάθημα στα ελληνικά;
I'm here to support fellow Greeks LOL.
Can anyone in the comments recommend me a video like this but more structured, concise and focus on the conjugation? This is long and confusing at the same time. I dont need to know about the use of each tense. Thank you!
Sorry, but this was the most difficult of all your videos to follow.
Stem. It's not pronounced steem, baby. It's pronounced stehm. Like the e sound in etho/here in Greek.
Difficult color selection for color blind people.
Thank you so much!
Very welcome 🙏
@@Linguatree Спасибо за Ваш урок!
May I ask You a question, please? What about the verb 'παίζω '? Is it an exception? παίζω --> παίξω?
