What was learnt, hopefully, in this lesson

1. Articles
   
   • Generalities.
   • Declension.
      
     
2. Nouns
   1st declension: 3 groups
   
   • ἡ κόρη, τῆς κόρης, the girl
   • ἡ οἰκία, τῆς οἰκίας, the house (the building), cf. ὁ οἶκος
   • ἡ τράπεζα, τῆς τραπέζης, table, think of a trapeze, the shape of an upside down table. And as originally banking was carried out in the ἀγορά (the market-place, in Rome the forum), on tables, τράπεζα came to mean "bank"
      
3. Adjectives
   They follow the same pattern as the nouns, except that the genitive plural always has the same accent on the same syllable as the genitive singular.
    
   

    Example 

   the dear girl-friend	ἡ	φίλη	φίλη
   of the dear girl-friend	τῆς	φίλης	φίλης
   of the dear girl-friends	τῶν	φίλων	φιλῶν

4. And, to whet your appetite for things to come, let's introduce the family:
   Naming them (nominative case form) and addressing them (vocative case form).
