Im starting to get confused by all the ways to spell 'the'. Is it το, Η, η? Or just depends on the grammer of the word its attached to? If so whats the rule for each spelling. Thank you
It depends on the gender of the word, which are masculine, feminine or neuter. For masculine nouns you use the definite article "ο", for feminine it's "η", and for neuter nouns it's "το". "Η" and "η" are the same letter. The first one is upper case and the second one is lower case.
This is possibly one of the hardest words to spell because of the many 'i' sounds in Greek :(
Yes, it is and there isn't any rule for spelling, because Ancient Greeks had different pronunciations for ι, η, υ, ει and οι and they had not any problem. In Modern Greek, all of them have the same pronunciation and this confuses even the native speakers :P
It's definitely there. Do you hear the audio beginning with a "ps" sound? There is an "ee" before that.
And thers a problem some times when it says the word its like l cant hear it RIGHT it just sounds wierd so l dont no what to do and just saying some one need to fix that!☹☹
This sounds correct you just need to get used to it. You just started a brand new language. You are learning the sounds of the letters, of course, it's difficult to hear everything clearly.
