Questions & Answers about Ο παίκτης δίνει πάσα στην παίκτρια και εκείνη βάζει γκολ.

Why is it ο παίκτης but στην παίκτρια?

Because Greek changes both the article and often the noun form depending on gender and grammatical role.

• ο παίκτης = masculine singular, subject of the verb
• στην παίκτρια = feminine singular after σε, meaning to the female player

So here:

• ο παίκτης is the one doing the action
• στην παίκτρια is the person receiving the pass

Also, στην already includes the article, so it is not just to, but to the.

Are παίκτης and παίκτρια just the masculine and feminine versions of the same word?

Yes. They both mean player, but one is masculine and one is feminine:

• ο παίκτης = male player
• η παίκτρια = female player

This is a common pattern in Greek: some profession or role nouns have separate masculine and feminine forms. The feminine is not always made in exactly the same way as in English, so it is best to learn them as a pair.
