\u0393\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c3\u03b1\u03c2! Thank you all for your comments about my last post (Read a short story in Greek) on our Facebook page. Today this post is about grammar. A few weeks ago, we saw the use of the personal pronouns<\/a>. Now we will see the use of the strong types of the personal pronouns.

    When we want to make a distinction between two people or things.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u0395\u03b3\u03ce \u03b1\u03b3\u03cc\u03c1\u03b1\u03c3\u03b1 \u03c4\u03b1 \u03b3\u03bb\u03c5\u03ba\u03ac, \u03cc\u03c7\u03b9 \u03b1\u03c5\u03c4\u03cc\u03c2. \/ I bought the sweets not him.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      When the pronoun stands alone.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        When we want to give emphasis.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

(The meaning of the phrase is \u201cwas it you who hit him or someone else?\u201d The emphasis is on the pronoun.

          \n
