Questions & Answers about Η δασκάλα μας δείχνει στρατηγικές για να διαχειριζόμαστε ήρεμα τις συγκρούσεις στην ομάδα.
Η is the feminine singular definite article: η δασκάλα = the teacher.
In Greek, you normally use the definite article with a specific person or thing that both speaker and listener know about. Since this is “our teacher”, a specific person, η is required.
If you removed it and said δασκάλα μας δείχνει…, it would sound incomplete or stylistically odd in standard Greek. In subject position, a singular countable noun almost always needs the article when it’s definite.
Both words mean teacher, but:
- ο δάσκαλος = male teacher (traditionally, or generic “teacher” in some contexts)
- η δασκάλα = female teacher
Since the sentence says η δασκάλα, it clearly refers to a female teacher. If the teacher were male, the sentence would be:
- Ο δάσκαλός μας δείχνει στρατηγικές…
Here μας means our (possessive “we”), not us.
Greek uses “weak” possessive pronouns that follow the noun:
- η δασκάλα μας = our teacher
