η μέρα της νύχτας
The day of night.
Both day and night are feminine nouns.
η is the feminine definite article.
μέρα is nominative case 1st declension.
της is the feminine genitive case preposition/definite article.
νύχτας is the Genetive case feminine noun.
με βλέπω
I see me.
Day is in the Nominative Case because it is greater than night the Genitive Case.
The Ancient Greek cases are also tiers of power status. The Sun is greater than the Moon.
That’s why the phrase The Son of God doesn’t make much sense to ancient Hebrews or Greeks. How can the Son of God be greater than God? when Son is the nominative case and God is the genitive case.
Something like that. 🤷♂️
Nominative
Genitive
Dative
Accusative
2 noun sentences use the Nominative and Accusative cases.
3 noun sentences use the Nominative, Dative, and Accusative. Hopefully the Dative case noun is considered more important than the Accusative case noun.
I don’t really think that way here in the USA speaking English since I don’t live in a Kingdom under a King and Queen and Lords like the British do did done. If I were to address the Queen as written in the Accusative case I might be risking my life and limb. Always speak of the Queen as written in the Nominative Case.
