Try these sample questions to review concepts for the PAU Greek II (Aragón) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which diacritical mark in Ancient Greek indicates an initial aspirated vowel sound (equivalent to an English 'h' sound)?
A.Spiritus asper (rough breathing)
B.Iota subscript
C.Coronis
D.Spiritus lenis (smooth breathing)
Explanation: Spiritus asper (rough breathing, ῾) is placed over an initial vowel or diphthong to indicate aspiration (an 'h' sound, as in ἵππος / hippos). Spiritus lenis (᾽) indicates the absence of initial aspiration.
2Which of the following pairs of Greek letters represent vowels that are ALWAYS long in quantity?
A.Epsilon (ε) and Omicron (ο)
B.Eta (η) and Omega (ω)
C.Upsilon (υ) and Epsilon (ε)
D.Alpha (α) and Iota (ι)
Explanation: In Attic Greek, Eta (η) and Omega (ω) are always long vowels. Epsilon (ε) and Omicron (ο) are always short, while Alpha (α), Iota (ι), and Upsilon (υ) can be either long or short (dichrona).
3Which combination forms a proper diphthong in Ancient Greek?
A.αι (alpha + iota)
B.βγ (beta + gamma)
C.στ (sigma + tau)
D.νδ (nu + delta)
Explanation: Diphthongs are formed by combining two vowels pronounced together in a single syllable, such as αι, ευ, οι, or αυ. Combinations like βγ, στ, and νδ are consonant clusters.
4Where is the iota subscript (ᾳ, ῃ, ῳ) written in Classical Greek orthography?
A.Before an initial consonant to mark breathings
B.At the end of every plural verb form
C.Above short vowels ε and ο
D.Underneath the long vowels α, η, and ω when paired with an implicit iota
Explanation: The iota subscript is a small iota written underneath the long vowels alpha (ᾳ), eta (ῃ), and omega (ῳ). It represents an improper diphthong where the second element (iota) ceased to be pronounced in classical times.
5Which set of Greek consonants represents the class of dental mutes/stops?
A.π, β, φ
B.τ, δ, θ
C.κ, γ, χ
D.λ, μ, ν, ρ
Explanation: Dental consonants are produced using the tongue against the teeth: τ (voiceless), δ (voiced), and θ (aspirated). π, β, φ are labials; κ, γ, χ are gutturals (velars); λ, μ, ν, ρ are liquids and nasals.
6The double consonant Psi (ψ) is formed by combining a sigma (σ) with which class of consonants?
A.Liquid consonants (λ, ρ)
B.Dental mutes (τ, δ, θ)
C.Guttural mutes (κ, γ, χ)
D.Labial mutes (π, β, φ)
Explanation: Psi (ψ) represents the sound resulting from a labial mute (π, β, or φ) followed by sigma (σ). For example, βλεπ- + -σω = βλέψω.
7What is a Greek word called if it carries an acute accent on its ultimate (last) syllable?
A.Paroxytone
B.Proparoxytone
C.Perispomenon
D.Oxytone
Explanation: An oxytone word has an acute accent on the last syllable (e.g., θεός). Paroxytone has an acute on the penult (λόγος); proparoxytone has an acute on the antepenult (ἄνθρωπος); perispomenon has a circumflex on the ult (θεοῦ).
8Which of the following words is a proclitic in Attic Greek (a word that leans forward onto the following word and normally has no accent of its own)?
A.καί (and)
B.ἐν (in)
C.αὐτός (self/him)
D.ποτέ (ever/once)
Explanation: Proclitics are unaccented words that attach closely to the following word. Examples include prepositions ἐν, εἰς, ἐκ, forms of the article (ὁ, ἡ, οἱ, αἱ), and conjunctions εἰ, ὡς, οὐ.
9What is the genitive singular form of the first declension feminine noun 'ἡ σοφία' (wisdom), an alpha pura noun?
A.τῆς σοφίης
B.τῆς σοφίας
C.τῇ σοφίᾳ
D.τὴν σοφίαν
Explanation: In first declension nouns ending in alpha pura (alpha preceded by ε, ι, or ρ), the long alpha is retained throughout the singular cases: nom. ἡ σοφία, gen. τῆς σοφίας, dat. τῇ σοφίᾳ, acc. τὴν σοφίαν.
10What is the genitive singular form of the first declension noun 'ἡ γλῶσσα' (tongue, language), an alpha impura noun?
A.τῆς γλώσσης
B.τῆς γλώσσας
C.τῇ γλώσσῃ
D.τὰς γλώσσας
Explanation: Alpha impura first declension nouns (where short alpha is preceded by consonants other than ε, ι, ρ) change short alpha to eta in the genitive and dative singular: gen. τῆς γλώσσης, dat. τῇ γλώσσῃ.
