Questions & Answers about Ο αδερφός μου αγόρασε καρό σακάκι, αλλά εγώ το βρίσκω πολύ έντονο.

Why is there ο before αδερφός μου?

In Greek, you normally use the definite article with family members and with possessives.

So Greek says:

ο αδερφός μου = my brother
literally: the brother of me

This is completely normal Greek. English drops the article, but Greek usually keeps it.

Similar examples:

• η μητέρα μου = my mother
• ο πατέρας σου = your father
• το σπίτι μας = our house

Is αδερφός the same as αδελφός?

Yes. Both mean brother.

• αδερφός is very common in everyday spoken Greek.
• αδελφός is a bit more formal or traditional.

So in conversation, αδερφός sounds natural and common.

Why does μου come after αδερφός?

Because Greek possessive words like μου, σου, του, της, μας, σας, τους usually come after the noun.

So:

• ο αδερφός μου = my brother
• το βιβλίο σου = your book
• η φίλη της = her friend

This is one of the most basic Greek possessive patterns.
