In today's episode you will learn about the interrogative pronouns ποιος/ποια/ποιο in Greek. Emily and Danae will first engage in a conversation making a list for gifts they need to buy and then explain the use of these pronouns and their cases.


E: Λοιπόν Δανάη, έχουμε πολλά γενέθλια αυτόν τον καιρό και πρέπει να πάρουμε δώρα. / So, Danae, we have a lot of birthdays coming up and we need to get gifts.

D: Κάτι έχω στο μυαλό μου. Ποιος έχει πρώτος; Ο Γιάννης ή Η Κατερίνα; / I have something in mind. Who's first? Yiannis or Katerina?

E: Ο Γιάννης, στις 5 Απριλίου και η Κατερίνα στις 11 Απριλίου. / Yiannis, on April 5th, and Katerina on April 11th.

D: Ωραία, σκεφτόμουν για τον Γιάννη ένα επιτραπέζιο και για την Κατερίνα παζλ. Τι λες; / Great, I was thinking of a board game for Yiannis and a puzzle for Katerina. What do you think?

E: Ωραίες ιδέες! Αλλά ποιο επιτραπέζιο σκέφτεσαι για τον Γιάννη; / Nice ideas! But which board game are you thinking of for Yiannis?

D: Δεν είμαι σίγουρη. Ποιο του αρέσει περισσότερο; /  I'm not sure. Which one does he like the most?

E: Νομίζω πως του αρέσουν τα επιτραπέζια στρατηγικής, αλλά δεν ξέρω ποιο επιτραπέζιο έπαιζε τελευταία φορά και του άρεσε πολύ. / I think he likes strategy board games, but I don't know which one he played last time and really enjoyed.

D: Μήπως να ρωτήσουμε τον Νίκο; / Should we ask Nikos?

E: Καλή ιδέα! Και για την Κατερίνα, ποιον να ρωτήσουμε για το παζλ; / Good idea! And for Katerina, who should we ask about the puzzle?

D: Η αδερφή της, η Μαρία, μάλλον ξέρει. Θα της στείλω μήνυμα. / Her sister, Maria, probably knows. I'll send her a message.

E: Εντάξει, κλείσαμε. Σε ποιους άλλους έχουμε να πάρουμε δώρα; / Okay, settled. Who else do we need to buy gifts for?

D: Έχουμε την Ιωάννα και την Ειρήνη. /  We have Ioanna and Eirini.

E: Αχ δεν θυμάμαι. Ποιανής είναι αγαπημένο χρώμα το μωβ; / Oh, I can't remember. Whose favorite color is purple?

D: Της Ειρήνης. /  Eirini’s.

E: Τέλεια! Είχα δει ένα φοβερό φόρεμα και νομίζω θα της πηγαίνει πολύ! /  Perfect! I saw an amazing dress, and I think it would look great on her!

D: Ωραία. Οπότε ας πάρουμε το φόρεμα στην Ειρήνη και στην Ιωάννα ένα βιβλίο. / Nice. So let's get the dress for Eirini and a book for Ioanna.

E: Ποιο βιβλίο όμως; Τα έχει διαβάσει όλα! /  But which book? She's read them all!

D: Λογικά ο Γιάννης θα ξέρει ποιο λείπει από τη βιβλιοθήκη της! / Yiannis probably knows which one is missing from her bookshelf!

E: Σωστά. Οπότε κλείσαμε. Παρασκευή πάμε για ψώνια; / True. So that’s settled. Shall we go shopping on Friday?

D: Πάμε! / Let’s do it!
