ὁ παῖς ᾧ ὄνομα Μᾶρκος (πρῶτος μέρος) | A boy named Mark (Part I)

οὗτός ἐστι Μᾶρκος. ὁ Μᾶρκός ἐστι παῖς Ἑλληνικός. ποῦ οἰκεῖ ὁ Μᾶρκος; ὁ Μᾶρκος οἰκεῖ ἐν Ἐφέσῳ. νῦν ὁ Μᾶρκος σὺν τῷ διδασκάλῳ ἐστίν. ὁ Μᾶρκος καλῶς λέγειν καὶ γράφειν μανθάνω. ἔστι τὸ μανθάνειν τῷ Μάρκῳ ἡδύ; οὐδαμῶς, τὸ μανθάνειν οὐχ ἡδὺ τῷ Μάρκῳ, ὁ Μᾶρκος μανθάνειν οὐχ ἥδεται. ἐξαίφνης ὁ Μᾶρκος ἀπὸ τοῦ διδασκάλου αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν τρέχει. ποῖ τρέχει ὁ Μᾶρκος;

The Greek Definite Article

I (Michael Halcomb) am pleased to announce the launch of the Conversational Koine Institute blog. Every month or two we will switch to a new topic on the blog. For the first six weeks or so we are going to offer some insights on the (Definite Article) in Koine Greek. What do I mean by "we" and what do I mean by "insights" (plural)? By "we" I mean the CKI blog team, which consists of myself and two others, namely, Seumas MacDonald and Vivek Jones. By "insights" I mean that we're going to offer posts from a number of different angles. For example, there will be posts related to grammar. There will also be posts related to resources. Just as well, we'll offer posts that consist of short stories. There are many different ways that we can and will approach any number of subjects. Tomorrow we'll have a unique post with a unique story created by Seumas. In the days to follow, look for more stories and other types of posts drawing attention to the (Definite) Article. We hope that you'll enjoy this blog and we hope that you'll find it helpful and informative.
