Questions & Answers about Το γκρι μου αρέσει περισσότερο από το μαύρο.

Why does Greek say μου αρέσει instead of using a verb that works like English I like?

Because αρέσω works differently from English like.

Greek structures it more like:

• X pleases me = Μου αρέσει το Χ

So in this sentence:

• Το γκρι μου αρέσει... literally means something like Grey is pleasing to me...

That is why the person who feels the liking is not the subject of the verb. The thing liked is the grammatical subject.

What does μου mean here?

μου means to me.

It is the weak form of the pronoun and shows who is pleased by something:

• μου αρέσει = is pleasing to me
• σου αρέσει = is pleasing to you
• του/της αρέσει = is pleasing to him/her

So:

• Το γκρι μου αρέσει = I like grey / more literally, Grey pleases me
