"Ποιος είσαι;"

Translation: Who are you?

[spacemanue]

Would "Which one are you?" also be correct? If you looked at a picture and you wanted to know which one of the people on it is your partner...?

[432101]

The precise translation to your question is "Ποιος από αυτούς είσαι;" Which one of the people you see. But yes, in a simple discussion you could also say that.

[HiMeCriss]

Είμαι ο μπαμπάς σου!

What is the relation between είναι and είσαι?

[brunoshure]

I am - εγώ είμαι

You are - εσύ είσαι

He/She/It is - αυτός/η/ο είναι

[KristianEd407709]

Why do we use 'Ποιος' here rather than 'Ποια '?

[Moritz7698]

I am not a native speaker, but usually in languages like this the masculine version is dominant and the feminine is only used when it is clear that whoever is meant is female (or a female only group). However in this case both should be correct in my opinion.

[JanetOlson3]

So, ποιος nominative, and ποιανού, ποιανής are genitive?

[troll1995]

Yes, exactly! There are also the alternative genitive forms: ποιου, ποιας.

[8Unr]

Are you sure? In some exercises "ποιανού" is translated as "whose"

[AniOhevYayin]

In koine Gk this would be τίς, as in τίς εἶ, "who are you?" but then would transition to Ποιος when asking about the person's family background, e.g.,ἐκ ποίας πατρίδος σὺ εἶ, "from what/which family are you?"

[LucasSende2]

why is who is this? not accepted?

[troll1995]

Who is this would be "Ποιος είναι αυτός;" Είσαι is "you are", not "he/she/it is".

[_Dimitris_]

"who is this" would be "ποιος είναι;"

[AnCatDubh]

Είμαι ο Θάνατος.

[ImogenJacobs]

Could I say this if I wanted to ask 'what is your name?' or would that be incorrect?

[Layla712028]

How do you pronounce "ποιος"? I can't hear the first 'o'. Does the 'οι' have a different sound?

[D_..]

Οι is pronounced 'ee'. Check the Diphthongs notes in the Tips and notes section under the Alphabet skill Tips and notes are available on the website but not on the apps.
