Let's look at some examples.

Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speakers.

Αυτό, παρακαλώ. (Aftó, parakaló.)

Εκείνο, παρακαλώ. (Ekíno, parakaló.)

Αυτά, παρακαλώ. (Aftá, parakaló.)

Εκείνα, παρακαλώ. (Ekína, parakaló.)

Αυτό και εκείνο, παρακαλώ. (Aftó ke ekíno, parakaló.)

Did you notice how I used a different sentence pattern?

Αυτό και εκείνο, παρακαλώ. (Aftó ke ekíno, parakaló.)

"This and that, please."

You can use the words αυτό (aftó) and εκείνο (ekíno) together.

Αυτό (aftó). "This." Αυτό.

Εκείνο (ekíno). "That." Εκείνο.

When requesting multiple items, you can join them with the conjunction, και (ke), meaning "and."

Και. "And." Και.

This pattern is:

ITEM και (ke) ITEM, παρακαλώ. (parakaló.)

"ITEM and ITEM, please."
