Το μωβ μου πάει καλύτερα από το γκρι.

In this sentence, the color words are being used as nouns, meaning the purple color and the gray color. Greek often does this with colors.

So:

• το μωβ = purple
• το γκρι = gray

They are treated here as neuter singular nouns, so they take the article το.

This is very natural in Greek when talking about colors in a general way.

Μου πάει is a very common Greek expression meaning it suits me or it looks good on me.

Literally:

• μου = to me
• πάει = goes

But the full expression does not mean goes to me in normal English. It means something like:

• it suits me
• it looks good on me
• it becomes me

So Το μωβ μου πάει means Purple suits me.

Because Greek uses the weak genitive pronoun here with the verb expression πάει σε κάποιον / μου πάει.

So:

• μου = to me / for me
• σου = to you
• του / της = to him / her
• μας = to us
• σας = to you (plural/formal)
• τους = to them

In this expression, Greek does not use the direct object form that English learners might expect. You simply learn μου πάει as the standard pattern for it suits me.

Examples:

• Το μπλε μου πάει. = Blue suits me.
• Δεν σου πάει το πράσινο. = Green doesn’t suit you.

Because καλύτερα is being used adverbially here, modifying the verb phrase μου πάει.

So the idea is:

• πάει καλά = it suits (someone) well
• πάει καλύτερα = it suits (someone) better

Even though το μωβ is neuter, καλύτερα here is not agreeing with it as an adjective. It is functioning as an adverb: better.

Compare:

• Είναι καλύτερο. = It is better.
  Here καλύτερο is an adjective, agreeing with a neuter noun.
• Μου πάει καλύτερα. = It suits me better.
  Here καλύτερα is adverbial.

Από means than in comparisons like this.

So:

• καλύτερα από = better than

In the sentence:

• Το μωβ μου πάει καλύτερα από το γκρι.
• Purple suits me better than gray.

This is a very common Greek comparison pattern:

• πιο ... από ... = more ... than ...
• καλύτερα από ... = better than ...
• λιγότερο ... από ... = less ... than ...

Because the subject is το μωβ, which is singular.

So the structure is:

• Το μωβ = subject
• πάει = 3rd person singular verb form

Even though English says Purple suits me, Greek uses singular because το μωβ is one thing: the color purple.

If the subject were plural, the verb would change:

• Τα έντονα χρώματα μου πάνε. = Bright colors suit me.

Here πάνε is plural.

It can be either, depending on how it is used.

In this sentence, it is a noun:

• το μωβ = the color purple

But it can also act as an adjective:

• Το μωβ φόρεμα = the purple dress
• Ένα γκρι σακάκι = a gray jacket

Many color words in Greek can be used this way.

A helpful idea is:

• with an article alone, it often means the color itself
• before a noun, it often describes that noun

Yes, Greek word order is fairly flexible. The version you have is a very natural neutral sentence.

This order highlights the thing being compared:

• Το μωβ μου πάει καλύτερα από το γκρι.

But Greek could also say things like:

• Μου πάει καλύτερα το μωβ από το γκρι.
• Από το γκρι, το μωβ μου πάει καλύτερα.

The meaning stays basically the same, but the emphasis changes.

For learners, the given version is a good standard pattern to remember.

It usually means the color suits me better, and the specific context is understood from the situation.

Depending on context, it could mean:

• clothing colors
• makeup shades
• hair color tones
• home décor around the speaker
• colors in general

Greek often leaves that unstated if it is obvious from the conversation.

So the sentence is naturally broad: purple looks better on me than gray.

A simple pronunciation guide:

• μωβ ≈ mov
  The ω sounds like o, and β in Modern Greek sounds like v.
• γκρι ≈ gkree or gree
  At the beginning of a word, γκ is commonly pronounced like g.

So the whole sentence is roughly:

to mov moo PAEI ka-LI-te-ra a-PO to gree

A more careful breakdown:

• Το = to
• μωβ = mov
• μου = moo
• πάει = PA-ei / PAEI
• καλύτερα = ka-LI-te-ra
• από = a-PO
• το γκρι = to gree

You could as a learning aid, but it is not a natural English translation.

A literal breakdown helps show the Greek structure:

• Το μωβ = the purple
• μου πάει = goes to me / suits me
• καλύτερα = better
• από το γκρι = than the gray

But in normal English, you should translate it as:

• Purple suits me better than gray
• Purple looks better on me than gray

That is the idiomatic meaning.

Yes, absolutely. This is a very useful pattern.

For example:

• Το μπλε μου πάει καλύτερα από το μαύρο.
  Blue suits me better than black.

• Το πράσινο δεν μου πάει.
  Green doesn’t suit me.

• Το κόκκινο σου πάει πολύ.
  Red suits you a lot / Red looks great on you.

So a good model is:

• Το/Η/Τα + color + μου/σου/του... + πάει/πάνε + καλύτερα από ...

This is a very practical everyday structure.
