Questions & Answers about Η υπάλληλος μού είπε να πάω στο γραφείο εξυπηρέτησης για ανταλλαγή ή επιστροφή.
Why is it Η υπάλληλος and not Ο υπάλληλος? And why does υπάλληλος end in -ος if it’s feminine?
Η υπάλληλος is feminine here: the (female) employee/clerk. Greek has some feminine nouns that still end in -ος (often professions/roles). So:
- ο υπάλληλος = the (male) employee
- η υπάλληλος = the (female) employee
Same basic noun, different article to show gender.
What exactly does μού mean, and why is it before the verb?
μού is the weak (clitic) form meaning to me. In this sentence it’s the indirect object of είπε (she said/told). Clitic object pronouns in Greek usually come before the verb:
- μού είπε = she told me
Is there a difference between μου and μού (with an accent)?
They’re the same word, but the accent can appear for clarity or emphasis.
- μου is the normal spelling (very common).
- μού may be written to avoid ambiguity or add emphasis in writing. In everyday Greek you’ll often see μου είπε without the accent.
