Questions & Answers about Η παρατήρηση του εκπαιδευτικού εξηγεί καθαρά το πρόβλημα.
Because Greek commonly uses the genitive after a noun to show possession or close association.
So:
- η παρατήρηση = the observation / remark
- του εκπαιδευτικού = of the teacher / the teacher's
Together, η παρατήρηση του εκπαιδευτικού means the teacher's observation or the observation of the teacher.
It can be understood as either one, because those are just two natural English ways to translate the Greek genitive.
In this sentence, it most naturally means:
- the teacher's observation
- that is, the observation made by the teacher
If you wanted to say an observation about the teacher, Greek would usually use a different structure, such as για τον εκπαιδευτικό.
