Questions & Answers about Με αυτόν τον σταθερό ρυθμό νιώθω ότι η εξέλιξή μου είναι σίγουρη.

Why is it με αυτόν τον σταθερό ρυθμό and not something like με αυτός or με αυτό?

The preposition με (with / at / by) in Modern Greek is always followed by the accusative case.

• αυτόν = masculine accusative singular of αυτός (this).
• τον = masculine accusative singular definite article (the).
• ρυθμό = masculine accusative singular of ρυθμός (rhythm, pace).

So:

• Nominative: αυτός ο ρυθμός (this pace – subject)
• Accusative (after με): με αυτόν τον ρυθμό (with this pace)

Using αυτός (nominative) after με would be ungrammatical in Modern Greek. αυτό is neuter, so it would also be wrong, because it must agree in gender and case with ρυθμό, which is masculine accusative.

Why are there two words, αυτόν and τον, before ρυθμό? Isn’t one article enough?

In Modern Greek, demonstratives like αυτός / εκείνος usually appear together with the definite article when used attributively (before a noun).

Pattern:

• αυτός ο ρυθμός = this pace
• εκείνος ο ρυθμός = that pace

In the accusative:

• με αυτόν τον ρυθμό = with this pace
• με εκείνον τον ρυθμό = with that pace

So αυτόν is the demonstrative (this), and τον is just the normal definite article (the). Both are needed in standard usage.
