    The document discusses the Greek verb tense known as the aorist. It notes that the aorist indicates a past action and has three types: Aorist I, II, and III. It also mentions two subtypes of Aorist I - the sigmatic and asigmatic aorists. The aorist is formed from the verbal theme plus suffixes and endings. It highlights another type of aorist called the "cappatico" aorist that only three verbs use and involves a -k- sound in the first three persons of the indicative form. The writer expresses their dislike of the aorist due to its difficulty and the verbal changes involved.

    In this period my favourite subject


    is Greek. I like it because the letters
    of this language are different and I
    love writing them.
    There isn't a topic that I prefer, but
    there is a topic that I hate: The
    Aorist.

    The aorist is a verbal tense where the


    verbal theme changes from the
    original one.
    It indicates a past action and we have
    three types of aorist:
    -Aorist I
    -Aorist II
    -Aorist III
    we have two types of aorist I:
    -Aorist I sigmatico
    -Aorist I asigmatico

    The aorist is formed with


    the verbal theme + -sa- (thematic
    feature) + thematic vowel + active
    and passive endings

    There is another aorist, well


    known as ''cappatico'', because
    in the first three persons of the
    indicative aorist there is -k- .
    only three verbs have this aorist:
    -didomi
    -titemi
    -iemi

    n the aorist there are phonetic


    changes.
    I

    I hate the aorist because it is


    difficult and because of the
    verbal changes.
