Questions & Answers about Ο υπολογιστής μου δεν έχει ίντερνετ στο σαλόνι.
Why is it Ο and not Το at the start?
- Ο is the masculine nominative singular article (“the”) used with masculine nouns like υπολογιστής.
- Το is the neuter article used with neuter nouns like σαλόνι (which you see inside στο later in the sentence).
What does δεν do, and when do I use μην instead?
- δεν is the negative particle for the indicative; it goes right before the verb: δεν έχει (“does not have”).
- μη(ν) is used with the subjunctive and the negative imperative: να μην έχει, μην βάλεις.
- In speech you may hear δε before consonants, but it’s normally written δεν.
Why is υπολογιστής in this form and not υπολογιστή?
- υπολογιστής is nominative singular because it’s the subject (“my computer”).
- If it were the direct object, it would be accusative: τον υπολογιστή.
- Genitive (for “of the computer”) is του υπολογιστή.
Why is μου after the noun instead of before it like in English?
- Greek uses weak possessive pronouns after the noun: ο/η/το + noun + μου → ο υπολογιστής μου (“my computer”).
- For emphasis or contrast you can front a possessive with δικός/ή/ό: ο δικός μου υπολογιστής (“my own computer”).
