Chinese (Mandarin) Learning Tips
- Every word in Greek is marked with a stress. This indicates where the emphasis is placed when the word is pronounced. Words with only one syllable remain unstressed.
- In Greek, every letter corresponds to one distinct sound. There are a few exceptions that Rosetta Stone will help you learn.
- There are three genders, or categories, of Greek nouns: masculine, feminine, and neuter.
- Greek noun, adjective, and pronoun endings change depending on their position in the sentence, their gender, and whether they are singular or plural.
- In Greek, the pronoun is usually dropped from sentences because its meaning is conveyed by the ending of the verbs. Pronouns are used mainly for emphasis.
- To convey politeness, Greek speakers will use the plural form of a verb.
- In written Greek, a question is followed by a ‘;’ punctuation marker.
