|

Koiné Greek uses various kinds of word endings.
|
||||
The term "number" refers to one of these varieties of word endings.
|
||||
Number endings in Koiné Greek indicate how many there are of that particular thing.
|
||||
Nouns, adjectives, pronouns, participles, verbs, and definite articles all require a number ending.
|
||||
Adverbs do not require a case ending.
|
||||
|
||||
There are two different kinds of number endings: singular and plural.
|
||||
|
||||
The singular ending indicates that there is only one.
|
||||
|
||||
The plural ending indicates that there is more than one.
|
||||
|
||||
**Number** is the grammatical feature which signifies whether one
|
||||
(*singular*) or more (*plural*) participants are indicated by a word.
