Questions & Answers about Για τη μαμά μου η μεγαλύτερη ευτυχία είναι να βλέπει τα παιδιά της υγιή.
In Greek, the preposition για (“for”) is followed by the accusative case.
The noun μαμά (“mom”) is feminine and declines like this (with the article):
- Nominative (subject): η μαμά – the mom
- Genitive (of): της μαμάς – of the mom
- Accusative (object/after many prepositions): τη μαμά – the mom
After για, you must use the accusative:
- για τη μαμά μου = for my mom
So:
- για η μαμά μου – wrong (η is nominative)
- για της μαμάς μου – wrong (της μαμάς is genitive)
- για τη μαμά μου – correct (τη μαμά is accusative)
The μου (“my”) comes after the noun and does not change the case; it just adds possession:
- τη μαμά μου = my mom (in accusative)
