"Αυτή είναι η γωνία μου."

Translation: It is my corner.

[yuriSVB]

'Γωνία' becomes 'gon' in words like polygon?
Can someone confirm that?

[Dimitra956826]

You're on the right track. -γωνο in a word, when it follows a type of number, indicates the number or type of angles/corners.

for exp. Τετράγωνο = σχήμα με τέσσερις γωνίες, πολύγωνο= σχήμα με πολλές γωνίες.

Αlso, -γωνικός is it's adjective form. (Not that commonly used, but it's a thing)

for exp. Τριγωνικό τραπέζι - Triangular/trigonal table.

I hope my answer was helpful enough ^.^

And suddenly the word "trigonometry" makes sense.... Thank you for the explanation.

[AniruddhaJ20]

In Sanskrit, the word for "an angle/a corner" is "konas". So, a triangle in Sanskrit is "Trikonas" whereas in Greek it is Τρίγωνο. These words are so fascinatingly close :-)

That's the sort of thing that led linguists to realise eventually that Sanskrit and Greek and Latin must have come from the same origin.

[DerAndereLerner]

'Genu' means a knee in Latin. :)

[mizinamo]

And γόνυ in Ancient Greek. Both related to English knee.

[AniruddhaJ20]

In Sanskrit, it is jānu and in modern Persian it is zānū (زانو)!

A greek Sheldon Cooper :P

[Kefir87]

More like Greek Avon Barksdale or Marlo Stanfield.

[jasonArgonaut]

My thoughts exactly. Θέλω οι γωνίες μου!

[mizinamo]

Try again.

Which case do you need for the direct object of a verb?

[jasonArgonaut]

Ah! So I need feminine accusative plural...
θέλω τις γωνιές μου. (Hopefully!)
Thanks! :)

[mizinamo]

Exactly right! (Except for the accent: γωνίες, not γωνιές.)

[l_LOVE_CHlCKENS]

Shouldn't it be "this is my corner?"

[mizinamo]

Shouldn't it be "this is my corner?"

That's another possible (and accepted) translation.

[Imbored721359]

Αυτή είναι η γωνία μου is translated: This is my corner, not it is my corner.
Small mistake but I'll still point it out for some reason
