Questions & Answers about Με την κάρτα SIM αγοράζω πακέτο δεδομένων.

What does με την κάρτα SIM mean here?

Here με means with or using.

So με την κάρτα SIM means with the SIM card or more naturally in English, using the SIM card.

In Greek, με + accusative is often used not only for together with, but also for the means/instrument by which something is done.

Examples:

• γράφω με μολύβι = I write with a pencil
• πληρώνω με κάρτα = I pay by card

So in this sentence, the SIM card is the means used for the purchase.

Why is it την κάρτα and not η κάρτα?

Because με takes the accusative case, not the nominative.

The noun κάρτα is feminine singular:

• η κάρτα = nominative, the card
• την κάρτα = accusative, the card

So after με, you need:

• με την κάρτα

This is very common in Greek:

• με τον φίλο μου = with my friend
• με τη μητέρα μου = with my mother

Why is SIM not changing form?
