- σύζυγο (sýzygo): This is the Greek word for "husband." It is a noun in the accusative case, singular form.

Explanation:
- Definite Article ("Η"): In Greek, the definite article agrees with the noun it modifies in gender, number, and case. "Η" is used for feminine nouns in the singular nominative case.

- Noun ("γεύμα"): "Γεύμα" means "meal" and is the object of the verb ετοιμάζει, in the accusative case indicating it is what Έμμα prepares.
- Preposition ("για"): "Για" means "for" or "about," indicating the purpose of preparing the meal.
