Questions & Answers about Η αδερφή μου εκτυπώνει τη φόρμα στο γραφείο και εγώ τη σκανάρω στο σπίτι.

Why is it Η αδερφή μου and not μου η αδερφή?

Both are possible in Greek, but Η αδερφή μου is the most neutral and standard way to say my sister.

• η αδερφή = the sister
• μου = my / of me

Greek often expresses possession with the definite article plus a weak pronoun:

• η αδερφή μου = my sister
• το σπίτι μου = my house

The order μου η αδερφή can appear in speech for emphasis or in certain contexts, but it is not the normal default here.

Why is there a definite article in η αδερφή μου if English just says my sister?

Greek usually keeps the definite article even when a possessive meaning is expressed.

So Greek says:

• η αδερφή μου = literally the sister of me
• το βιβλίο σου = your book
• ο φίλος της = her friend

This is completely normal in Greek. English drops the article in these cases, but Greek usually does not.
