Questions & Answers about Η φίλη μου δεν ντρέπεται και ρωτάει όποια δασκάλα βλέπει.

What does Η mean in Η φίλη μου and why do we need it?

Η is the feminine singular definite article: it means “the”.

Greek usually uses the definite article with nouns when you talk about specific people, including family and close relations.

So Η φίλη μου is literally “the friend my”, but idiomatically it means “my (female) friend”.
Leaving out Η (Φίλη μου) is possible but more emotional/intimate, like saying “my dear friend” or calling out to her.

Why is it φίλη and not φίλος?

Greek nouns have grammatical gender:

• φίλος = a male friend
• φίλη = a female friend

Because you’re talking about a female friend, the sentence uses Η φίλη μου.
If it were a male friend, you’d say:

• Ο φίλος μου δεν ντρέπεται και ρωτάει όποιον δάσκαλο βλέπει.
  (Ο is the masculine article, and the rest changes to masculine forms.)

What is μου and why does it come after φίλη?
