Questions & Answers about Όσον αφορά τον κωδικό παράβασης, είναι λάθος.
Yes. Όσον αφορά is a very common set phrase meaning as for, regarding, with regard to, or concerning.
In modern Greek, learners usually treat it as a fixed expression rather than trying to analyze each word separately every time. You will often see it followed by a noun phrase:
- Όσον αφορά το θέμα... = regarding the matter...
- Όσον αφορά τον κωδικό παράβασης... = regarding the violation code...
It is slightly formal or neutral in tone, and it is very common in official, written, or explanatory language.
Because after Όσον αφορά, Greek uses the accusative case.
So:
- ο κωδικός = nominative, used for the subject
- τον κωδικό = accusative, used here because it is the object of αφορά
Even though Όσον αφορά works like regarding in English, grammatically it comes from the verb αφορά = concerns / pertains to, and that verb takes an object in the accusative.
So:
- Όσον αφορά τον κωδικό...
- not Όσον αφορά ο κωδικός...
