Quick Greek question;

If I say

Έk πτωχος γίγνεται χρηστον.

My chrèston should be accusative, right?

Sorry about the lack of accents, I had to write that using the Google Translation pen, and it was too much of a hassle to take the time and add them.

You can install the Greek language pack on Windows and use the virtual keyboard senpai.

thanks family

What is the subject of the sentence?

beggar

I think it should be nominative because it is a linking verb. Not sure.
You should also know that ek goes with the genitive, so it should be ptochou
>>
>>7679876
Not sure what you're trying to say but the last word is the subject, therefore in the nominative case. Εk requires the genitive, as my esteemed colleague >>7680050
was kind enough to point.

How about this, OP: What is it, in English, that you're trying to say in Greek?
While we're at it, what version of Greek are you aiming for?

Can confirm γιγνομαι takes a predicate nominative
