Questions & Answers about Η φίλη μου λέει ότι ο καλύτερος τρόπος για να χαλαρώνουμε είναι ο περίπατος, ειδικά στο χωριό.
Μου is the unstressed (clitic) form of εγώ (I) in the genitive case and here it means my.
In Greek, possessive pronouns usually come after the noun:
- η φίλη μου = my (female) friend
- το βιβλίο σου = your book
- το σπίτι του = his house
So η φίλη μου literally is the friend of-me, but it is translated as my friend.
The article η also shows the gender (feminine) and number (singular) of φίλη.
Greek nouns have grammatical gender.
- η φίλη is the feminine form = female friend
- ο φίλος is the masculine form = male friend (or a friend in general if gender is not important)
In this sentence, η φίλη μου clearly refers to a female friend.
