The Greek language, like all human
languages, has a Lexicon and a Grammar
that are used to create sentences. The
Lexicon consists of the words that exist in
the language. These words have a form and
carry a meaning.
The Grammar consists of rules, namely
regular patterns, which determine how
sounds, words and sentences are combined
into larger units. The component of
grammar which describes the sound system
and its properties is called phonology, while
the component which describes the words
and specifies the forms a word might take
is called morphology. The rules governing
the combination of words into phrases are
specified by syntax.

Α. Μέρη του λόγου (Word classes)
The words of Greek, like those of English,
belong to different word classes or parts of
speech (μέρη του λόγου) according to their
form, meaning and function in a sentence.
The word classes as a whole can be divided
into two groups: inflected, those which
have different endings, and uninflected,
those which never change.
