The Greek indefinite article

The indefinite article is what we call the words 'a' and 'an' in English. The English indefinite article 'a' has different forms in Greek depending on whether the word to which it belongs is masculine, feminine or neuter. The indefinite article for masculine words is 'ενας'. For feminine words, it is 'μία' and for neuter words it is 'ενα'.
