Questions & Answers about Ο διαχειριστής μας είπε ότι η θέρμανση δεν δουλεύει σήμερα.
Why is it Ο διαχειριστής and not just διαχειριστής?
Ο is the masculine singular definite article, meaning the.
So:
- ο διαχειριστής = the manager / the building manager
In Greek, the definite article is used very often, even in places where English might sometimes leave it out. In a normal sentence like this, ο διαχειριστής sounds natural and complete.
What exactly does διαχειριστής mean here?
Literally, διαχειριστής means manager or administrator, but in everyday Greek it often refers to the building manager / superintendent / person responsible for an apartment building.
So in this sentence, it probably does not mean a company manager. It most likely means the person who manages the apartment building.
Grammatically:
- διαχειριστής = masculine singular noun
- dictionary form: ο διαχειριστής
