What are the in greek?

The phrase "what are the" in Greek depends heavily on the context. You need to specify what "the" refers to. For example:

* What are the apples? (Τι είναι τα μήλα;) - This uses "τα μήλα" (ta mila), the plural definite article "τα" with the word "μήλα" (apples).

* What are the books? (Τι είναι τα βιβλία;) - This uses "τα βιβλία" (ta vivlia), the plural definite article "τα" with the word "βιβλία" (books).

* What are the children? (Τι είναι τα παιδιά;) - This uses "τα παιδιά" (ta paidia), the plural definite article "τα" with the word "παιδιά" (children).

* What are the rules? (Ποιοι είναι οι κανόνες;) - This uses "οι κανόνες" (oi kanones), the plural masculine definite article "οι" with the word "κανόνες" (rules). Note the different article used because "κανόνες" is masculine.

* What are the women? (Ποιες είναι οι γυναίκες;) - This uses "οι γυναίκες" (oi gynaikes), the plural feminine definite article "οι" with the word "γυναίκες" (women). Again, note the different article.

* What are the *singular* thing? (Τι είναι το…?) - For singular things, you'd use "το" (to) for neuter words and "ο" (o) for masculine and "η" (i) for feminine words, followed by the noun. For example: "What is the car?" would be "Τι είναι το αυτοκίνητο;"

To get a correct translation, please provide the noun phrase that follows "What are the".
