Group 2 — four sentences (5–8)

Greek, pronunciation, English, and word-by-word breakdowns with part of speech. Same order as the sentence song.

5. Καλημέρα!

Καλημέρα! · Kaliméra! · Good morning!

Greek	Pronunciation	Meaning	Part of speech
Καλημέρα	kaliméra	Good morning	Greeting (interjection)

Grammar note: Καλημέρα is a common greeting used in the morning. It is one word in Greek, so it does not need to be separated into smaller words for this beginner breakdown.

6. Είμαι καλά.

Είμαι καλά. · Íme kalá. · I am well.

Greek	Pronunciation	Meaning	Part of speech
Είμαι	íme	I am	Verb (present tense, 1st person singular)
καλά	kalá	well / fine	Adverb

Grammar note: Είμαι means “I am,” and καλά means “well” or “fine.” Greek often leaves out the separate word for “I” because the verb ending already tells us who is speaking.

7. Έχω ένα βιβλίο.

Έχω ένα βιβλίο. · Écho éna vivlío. · I have a book.

Greek	Pronunciation	Meaning	Part of speech
Έχω	écho	I have	Verb (present tense, 1st person singular)
ένα	éna	a / one	Indefinite article / numeral
βιβλίο	vivlío	book	Noun (neuter)

Grammar note: Greek uses ένα before a neuter singular noun to mean “a” or “one.” Here, ένα βιβλίο means “a book.” The verb Έχω already means “I have,” so a separate word for “I” is unnecessary.

8. Το νερό είναι κρύο.

Το νερό είναι κρύο. · To neró íne krío. · The water is cold.

Greek	Pronunciation	Meaning	Part of speech
Το	to	the	Article (definite article, neuter singular)
νερό	neró	water	Noun (neuter)
είναι	íne	is	Verb (present tense, 3rd person singular)
κρύο	krío	cold	Adjective (neuter singular)

Grammar note: The article Το agrees with the neuter noun νερό. The adjective κρύο also takes the neuter form to agree with νερό. The sentence follows a simple pattern: “The water is cold.”
