Questions & Answers about Η φίλη μου ξεφορτώνει τα ψώνια στην κουζίνα και μετά βάζει τα φρούτα στο ψυγείο.
Φίλη is the feminine form of friend, while φίλος is the masculine form. The article changes too:
- η φίλη μου = my female friend
- ο φίλος μου = my male friend
So this sentence tells you the friend is female.
That is the normal Greek pattern for an unstressed possessive:
- η φίλη μου = my friend
- το σπίτι μου = my house
- η μητέρα μου = my mother
Literally, it is closer to the friend of mine. Greek usually keeps the definite article and puts μου after the noun.
Greek normally uses the definite article with possessives:
- η φίλη μου
- ο αδελφός μου
- το αυτοκίνητό μου
So where English says my friend, Greek usually says literally the friend my. This is completely standard.
