Δεν μου αρέσει η αδιάφορη στάση του· δεν υποστηρίζει ποτέ κανέναν όταν υπάρχει πρόβλημα.

Because Greek expresses this idea differently from English.
Μου αρέσει literally works like it is pleasing to me.

• μου = to me
• αρέσει = is pleasing / pleases

So in Δεν μου αρέσει η αδιάφορη στάση του, the thing being liked or disliked is η αδιάφορη στάση του. English says I don’t like his indifferent attitude, but Greek structures it more like His indifferent attitude is not pleasing to me.

Because the subject is singular: η αδιάφορη στάση του = his indifferent attitude.

Greek αρέσει / αρέσουν changes depending on what is pleasing:

• Μου αρέσει η στάση του = I like his attitude.
• Μου αρέσουν οι ιδέες του = I like his ideas.

Here, στάση is singular, so αρέσει is correct.

Μου is the weak form of the pronoun meaning to me.

In this sentence, it marks the person who experiences the feeling:

• μου αρέσει = it pleases me / I like it
• σου αρέσει = it pleases you / you like it
• του αρέσει = it pleases him / he likes it

So μου is not the subject. It is more like an indirect object.

Because αδιάφορη must agree with στάση.

• στάση is feminine singular
• so the adjective must also be feminine singular: αδιάφορη

Compare:

• ο αδιάφορος άνθρωπος = the indifferent man
• η αδιάφορη στάση = the indifferent attitude
• το αδιάφορο ύφος = the indifferent manner/expression

Greek adjectives change form to match the noun in gender, number, and case.

In this sentence, στάση means attitude, stance, or way of behaving.

It does not mean physical standing here. Greek στάση can have several meanings depending on context, such as:

• attitude / stance
• stop (like a bus stop)
• position / posture

Here, because of αδιάφορη, it clearly means attitude: his indifferent attitude.

Του here means his.

More literally, it is the genitive weak pronoun form meaning of him. Greek often expresses possession this way:

• το βιβλίο του = his book
• η γνώμη της = her opinion
• οι φίλοι μου = my friends

So η στάση του literally means the attitude of him, but in natural English that is his attitude.

That mark is the Greek άνω τελεία.

It is used somewhat like an English semicolon or sometimes a strong colon/pause. It separates two closely connected clauses:

• Δεν μου αρέσει η αδιάφορη στάση του
• δεν υποστηρίζει ποτέ κανέναν όταν υπάρχει πρόβλημα

A useful warning for learners: in Greek, the English-looking ; is actually the question mark. So Greek punctuation works differently from English here.

Yes, but in Greek this is normal. Greek uses negative concord, which means multiple negative words can appear together in the same negative sentence.

So:

• δεν = not
• ποτέ = ever / never
• κανέναν = anyone / no one

Together, δεν υποστηρίζει ποτέ κανέναν means he never supports anyone.

In English, multiple negatives often cancel each other out in standard grammar, but in Greek they usually reinforce the negative meaning.

Because κανέναν is the accusative form, and here it is the direct object of υποστηρίζει.

The base dictionary form is κανείς or κανένας. But Greek changes the form by case:

• κανείς / κανένας = subject form
• κανέναν = object form

Since he supports someone/someone is being supported, Greek uses the object form:

• Δεν υποστηρίζει ποτέ κανέναν = He never supports anyone.

Here υποστηρίζει means supports, stands by, or backs up someone.

It can mean support in different ways depending on context:

• emotional or personal support
• defending someone
• backing someone’s position

In this sentence, because of όταν υπάρχει πρόβλημα, it means he does not stand by people when trouble comes.

Greek present tense is often used for habitual or general behavior, just like English present simple.

So δεν υποστηρίζει ποτέ κανέναν means:

• he never supports anyone
• he doesn’t ever stand by anyone

It describes a repeated pattern, not just something happening right now.

Because πρόβλημα is being used in a general, unspecific sense: when there is a problem.

Greek often omits the article in expressions like this when the meaning is general:

• όταν υπάρχει πρόβλημα = when there is a problem
• αν υπάρχει χρόνος = if there is time

If you said το πρόβλημα, it would sound like a specific, already known problem: when the problem exists or when that particular problem comes up.

The sentence order is natural and very common, but Greek word order is more flexible than English.

This order sounds quite normal:

• Δεν μου αρέσει η αδιάφορη στάση του

It puts the clitic μου near the verb, which is very typical. You could rearrange parts for emphasis, but this version is neutral and standard.

English is much stricter about word order, while Greek can move things around more easily as long as the grammar forms are clear.
