Since this is in the Technology skill I think it refers to the number of times a post on Facebook etc has been shared. Share has now become a noun outside Wall Street.
In need of a retraining session. Thanks for info, time for Facebook and Duo is a bit of a stretch! :-))
I don't think you can use share as an noun. I think the word may be followers or friends who share with me.
It's the things that you have shared (on social media or the like), I think, or possibly the acts of sharing.
From κοινοποιώ "to share", or literally "to make common".
What springs to my mind is shares in a company, e.g. " my shares in British Stirling have plummeted".
Would κοινοποιήσεις be masculine or feminine? I'm not very familiar with nounified verbs yet...
It's feminine plural.
The singular is κοινοποίηση.
Two common noun forms from verbs are a feminine form in -ση and a neuter one in -μα. (Generally speaking the noun in -ση refers to the process of verbing and -μα to the result; for example, ποίηση is "poetry" (the process of creating) and ποίημα is "poem" (the created thing), both from ποιώ "to make, create".)
The -ση nouns have a slightly special conjugation with plural -σεις (as here) rather than -σες. Genitive plural is -σεων; genitive singular can be the traditional -σεως or a modernised/regularised -σης -- I believe the latter is more common.
Note also the movement of stress: κοινοΠΟΊηση, κοινΠΟΊησης - κοινοποιΉσεως, κοινοποιΉσεων, κοινοποιΉσεις.
Thank you so much mizinamo, that makes sense now. I was thinking it was a noun formed directly from the 2PS future infinitive, but I can see now it's (a little bit) more straightforward than that.
Ah - I see where you could have got that idea from.
No, it's just a coincidence that the two forms (noun and verb) have the same shape, as far as I know.
Also one of those feminine plural nouns that had an -ις ending in Ancient Greek and so inflect slightly differently from "regular" -η feminine nouns.
Nearly all of them end in -ση (-ψη, -ξη) in the nominative singular, but a couple of them have a different consonant before the ending, e.g. δύναμη, πόλη.
My computer speaks Greek and my κοινοποιήσεις are the announcements I write on my page in facebook for my friends to read. The verb the computer uses is "share", which is computer language not humane language.
No, κοινοποίηση is when you share something, ανάρτηση is the post itself, whether you're sharing something or creating an original post.
ανάρτηση
Is this facebook language??;; Outside the computer world:
κοινοποίηση = announcement, κοινοποιώ = announce, (make public ποιώ / make , κοινός/ public)
ανάρτηση suspension (something you hang on the walls)
Sorry, I'll have to pass on this one let's wait for someone more tech savvy.
