| Let's look at the dialogue. |
| When I read, I want you to pay attention to the hobby that I'll mention. |
| Find out what the hobby is and see how it's used in the dialogue. |
| Ποιο είναι το χόμπι σου; |
| (Pio íne to hóbi su?) |
| What's your hobby? |
| Το χόμπι μου είναι το ψάρεμα. |
| (To hóbi mu íne to psárema.) |
| My hobby is fishing. |
| Now let's look at the sentence pattern. |
| This pattern will be the structure that all of our dialogues will follow. |
| Το χόμπι μου είναι [HOBBY]. |
| (To hóbi mu íne [HOBBY].) |
| My hobby is [HOBBY]. |
| Please note that this sentence pattern requires a definite article |
| before the name of the hobby. |
| Now let's look at some other examples. |
| Το χόμπι μου είναι τα ταξίδια. |
| (To hóbi mu íne ta taxídia.) |
| My hobby is traveling. |
| In Greek we literally say my hobby is travels, |
| meaning my hobby is traveling. |
| Since ταξίδια (taxídia) is a neuter noun in plural, |
| it should be accompanied by the definite article τα. |
| Το χόμπι μου είναι η κολύμβηση. |
| (To hóbi mu íne i kolímvisi.) |
| My hobby is swimming. |
| Here, κολύμβηση (kolímvisi) is a feminine noun. |
| That's why the previous word is a feminine definite article η. |
| Το χόμπι μου είναι η μαγειρική. |
| (To hóbi mu íne i mayirikí.) |
| My hobby is cooking. |
| Μαγερική (mayirikí) is also a feminine noun, therefore it goes with the article η. |
