Questions & Answers about Η ταυτότητά σου είναι ληγμένη, οπότε δεν θεωρείται πια έγκυρο έγγραφο.

Why is ταυτότητά written with the stress on the last syllable in Η ταυτότητά σου?

The basic noun is η ταυτότητα (identity / ID card), with the stress on -τό-.

When it is followed by an unstressed possessive like μου, σου, του, της, Greek often adds an extra written accent to show the new stress pattern:

• η ταυτότητα
• η ταυτότητά σου = your ID card

This happens because σου is an enclitic, and Greek spelling marks the extra stress shift. This is very common:

• το όνομά μου = my name
• η τσάντά σου = your bag
• η ταυτότητά σου = your ID card

So the extra accent is not changing the meaning; it is showing the correct pronunciation and stress.

What exactly does ταυτότητα mean here? Does it mean identity or ID card?

Here, ταυτότητα means ID card / identity card, not the abstract idea of identity.

Greek η ταυτότητα can mean:

• identity in an abstract sense
• ID card / identification card in everyday use

In this sentence, because it is described as expired and as a document, it clearly means ID card.

Why is it ληγμένη and not ληγμένος or ληγμένο?
