επειδή
The Greek word "επειδή" translates to "because" in English. It is a conjunction used to introduce a reason or explanation for something. In sentences, "επειδή" connects two clauses, where the first clause presents a situation and the second provides the reason for that situation.
For example, in the sentence "Δεν ήρθα επειδή βρέχει" (I didn't come because it is raining), "επειδή" links the reason for not coming to the weather condition. This word is essential in both spoken and written Greek, helping to clarify relationships between ideas and actions.
