Questions & Answers about Η γιατρός μου έδωσε παυσίπονο, γιατί το γόνατό μου πονάει ακόμα.
Literally, Η γιατρός μου is the doctor my, but natural English is my doctor.
Greek very often expresses possession with:
- article + noun + weak pronoun
So:
- η γιατρός μου = my doctor
- το σπίτι μου = my house
- ο φίλος μου = my friend
Here μου is the unstressed possessive form meaning my.
Because γιατρός is a profession noun that can be used for both genders.
- ο γιατρός = the male doctor
- η γιατρός = the female doctor
So the article tells you the gender here. Even though -ος is often masculine, it is not always masculine.
