SCHEDONTOU, schedontou

Sounds Like: skheh-DON

Translations: almost, nearly, well-nigh, about, approximately

From the root: ΣΧΕΔΟΝ

Part of Speech: Adverb

Explanation: The word "σχεδόν" is an adverb meaning "almost" or "nearly." It indicates proximity in time, quantity, or degree. It is used to qualify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, suggesting that something is very close to being true or happening, but not quite. The form "σχεδόντου" appears to be a misreading or a typographical error, likely intended as "σχεδόν τοῦ" (almost of/the), where "τοῦ" is the genitive singular masculine/neuter definite article.

Inflection: Does not inflect (as an adverb). The ending '-του' suggests a possible misreading or combination with the genitive definite article 'τοῦ'.
