Questions & Answers about Η υπάλληλος είπε ότι το έγγραφο δεν είναι έτοιμο ακόμα, αλλά οι φωτοτυπίες είναι σωστές.
Υπάλληλος means employee / clerk / staff member. It can refer to either a man or a woman, and the article tells you the gender here:
- η υπάλληλος = the female employee / the clerk
- ο υπάλληλος = the male employee / the clerk
So the noun itself often stays the same, but the article changes.
Είπε is the past tense form of λέω = to say / tell.
Here it means said. More specifically, it is the aorist form, which is the normal Greek tense for a completed past action:
- λέει = he/she says
- είπε = he/she said
Greek usually does not need to say she explicitly, because the verb form already works without a subject pronoun. In this sentence, the subject is already given as η υπάλληλος.
