Questions & Answers about Δεν έχω καμία αντιπάθεια για εκείνον, απλώς δεν τον ξέρω καλά.

Why are δεν and καμία both used? Doesn’t that make a double negative?

In Greek, this is normal. Greek uses negative concord, which means multiple negative words can appear in the same clause without “canceling each other out.”

So:

• Δεν έχω καμία αντιπάθεια = I don’t have any dislike / I have no dislike

Here:

• δεν = not
• καμία = no / any

In English, a double negative is often nonstandard, but in Greek this pattern is completely correct and very common.

Why is it καμία? What is it agreeing with?

Καμία agrees with αντιπάθεια, which is a feminine singular noun.

So:

• καμία = feminine singular form
• αντιπάθεια = feminine singular noun

If the noun were masculine or neuter, the form would change:

• κανέναν for masculine
• κανένα for neuter

So καμία αντιπάθεια means no dislike / no antipathy.

Is καμία the same as καμιά?

Yes, in many contexts they are basically the same word. The difference is mostly one of spelling/register:

• καμία is often seen as a bit more formal or careful in writing
• καμιά is very common in everyday language

In this sentence, both would be understood:

• Δεν έχω καμία αντιπάθεια...
• Δεν έχω καμιά αντιπάθεια...

Both are natural.
