No. 486 in Greek
o
The Greek word "ο" (o) is the masculine singular definite article in English, meaning "the."
In a sentence
Ο κύριος πηγαίνει στο γραφείο.
The gentleman is going to the office.
Here, 'Ο' is the masculine singular definite article in Greek, equivalent to 'The' in English, modifying 'κύριος' (gentleman).
Ο αδελφός μου είναι στο σπίτι.
My brother is at home.
In this sentence, 'Ο' again serves as the masculine singular definite article, now used with 'αδελφός' (brother).
Πες τον ο Πέτρος χρειαζόταν βοήθεια.
Tell them that Peter needed assistance.
In this case, 'ο' is part of a proper noun, emphasizing the subject 'Πέτρος' (Peter), and functions in a more conversational or emphatic structure in Greek.
