Practice (answers)

If you do not get all of these correct, that is okay. This is a difficult exercise and there is some tricky stuff here. But learn from your mistakes.

English to Greek

 1. "God hears the word.

• oJ qeo;V ajkouvei to;n lovgon.
• aujto;V ajkouvei aujtovn.

Notice that I used the masculine aujtovn. Why? If lovgon were personal (like a person's name), then the pronoun would have followed natural gender, and it would be aujtovn if lovgon were a man or aujthvn if lovgon were a woman. But because lovgon is impersonal (in terms of grammar), the pronoun will be the same gender as its antecedent. Make sense?

2. "Jesus hears God."

• oJ =Ihsou:V ajkouvei to;n qeovV.
• aujto;V ajkouvei aujtovn.

3. "God hears the words."

• oJ qeo;V ajkouvei tou;V lovgouV.
• aujto;V ajkouvei aujtouvV.

4. "The apostle receives the word."

• oJ ajpovstoloV lambavnei to;n lovgon.
• aujto;n lambavnei aujtovn.

5. "Teachers take the word."

• aujtoi; lambavnousi aujtovn.

6. "Yes. Peter preaches the word."

• naiv. oJ PevtroV khruvssei to;n lovgon.
• naiv. su; khruvssei aujtovn.

Did you remember khruvssei from the song?

Did you remember that you are Peter?
