Relative Clauses With Που
Unaccented που can introduce a relative clause describing a person or thing.
How It Works
Unaccented που can introduce a relative clause describing a person or thing.
Που itself does not change for gender or case. The role of the missing participant is understood from the clause; object and other relations can need a resumptive pronoun.
