Questions & Answers about Η φίλη μου και ο σύζυγός της πήγαν το μωρό στον παιδίατρο, γιατί έκλαιγε πολύ.
In Greek, it is very normal to use the definite article with a noun plus a possessive:
- η φίλη μου = my friend
- ο σύζυγός της = her husband
So Greek often says literally something like the friend of mine / the husband of hers, even though the natural English translation does not use the.
Also, when two nouns are joined by και (and), Greek usually repeats the article:
- η φίλη μου και ο σύζυγός της
That is the standard, natural phrasing.
They are possessive forms placed after the noun:
- μου = my
- της = her
So:
- η φίλη μου = my friend
- ο σύζυγός της = her husband
Grammatically, these are genitive clitic pronouns. A learner does not need all the technical detail at first; the important thing is that Greek often expresses possession as:
- article + noun + possessive word
Compare:
- το σπίτι μου = my house
- η μητέρα του = his mother
- οι φίλοι μας = our friends
