Καλημέρα, γιαγιά
Hello, Grandma
Before you read
Every Greek noun has a gender: masculine (ο καφές), feminine (η πόρτα), or neuter (το ψωμί). The article changes with the noun, and adjectives change too: μικρός, μικρή, μικρό all mean small.
είναι covers both is and are, so Το καφέ είναι μικρό (the café is small) never changes for singular or plural. είμαι is the separate I am form, used when Eleni speaks about herself: Είμαι η Ελένη.
υπάρχει means there is or there are: Υπάρχει μια πόρτα εδώ, there is a door here. It points out that something exists in a place, rather than describing it.
Greek shows possession with the genitive article της plus a name or noun: το καφέ της γιαγιάς, grandmother's café. No separate word for of is needed.
