Greek has four cases, which means that three parts of speech – pronouns, nouns, and articles – each have up to four forms, depending on how they are used in a sentence.
Greek has three genders, and because it’s a case language, knowing the gender of every noun is vital. Articles and adjectives have different forms to agree with the gender of their nouns, and there are also different forms for each case the noun is used in – which means many more opportunities to make mistakes.
