Μετά την αυτοψία έγινε η εκτίμηση ζημιάς.

Because μετά usually takes the accusative when it means after in Modern Greek.

• μετά την αυτοψία = after the inspection
• αυτοψία is a feminine noun
• its accusative singular form is την αυτοψία

So this is a normal and very common pattern:

• μετά το μάθημα = after the lesson
• μετά τη δουλειά = after work

You may also hear μετά από την αυτοψία, which is also correct and very common in speech.

Αυτοψία usually means an inspection, on-site inspection, or personal examination of a place or damage.

In contexts like insurance, accidents, construction, or property damage, it often refers to someone going to the location and examining the situation in person.

So in this sentence, it is not just a general look. It suggests a formal or professional inspection.

Έγινε is the aorist form of γίνομαι, which often means:

• to happen
• to take place
• to be carried out
• to become, depending on context

Here, έγινε η εκτίμηση ζημιάς means something like:

• the damage assessment took place
• the damage assessment was carried out

Greek often uses γίνομαι in places where English prefers a passive expression.

Compare:

• Έγινε συνάντηση. = A meeting took place.
• Έγινε έλεγχος. = An inspection/check was carried out.

So έγινε sounds natural here because the sentence is reporting that the assessment happened after the inspection.

Not exactly in form, even though it may feel passive in translation.

Έγινε comes from γίνομαι, which is its own verb. It is not the passive form of κάνω.

However, in English, it is often best translated with a passive idea:

• έγινε η εκτίμηση = the assessment was done / was carried out

So grammatically in Greek, it is not a passive form of do. But semantically, English may express it passively.

Both can be possible, but they are not exactly the same in feel.

η εκτίμηση ζημιάς is a very common compact Greek expression meaning:

• damage assessment
• assessment of damage

Here, ζημιάς is in the genitive, and it works almost like an English of phrase.

Adding the article:

• η εκτίμηση της ζημιάς

can sound more specific:

• the assessment of the damage

So:

• εκτίμηση ζημιάς = a general/formulaic expression, common in official language
• εκτίμηση της ζημιάς = more explicitly of the specific damage

In this sentence, the article is omitted because this kind of official phrase often uses a bare genitive.

Ζημιάς is the genitive singular of ζημιά.

• nominative: η ζημιά
• genitive: της ζημιάς
• accusative: τη ζημιά

It is in the genitive because Greek often uses the genitive to show a relationship like of in English.

So:

• εκτίμηση ζημιάς = assessment of damage

This is a very common structure in Greek:

• απόδειξη πληρωμής = proof of payment
• κέντρο υγείας = health center
• έκθεση ιδεών = composition / essay

Yes, the word order can change.

Greek word order is more flexible than English because noun endings show grammatical function. Starting with Μετά την αυτοψία puts the time sequence first:

• After the inspection, the damage assessment was carried out.

This is natural because it gives the background first.

Other possible orders are:

• Η εκτίμηση ζημιάς έγινε μετά την αυτοψία.
• Έγινε η εκτίμηση ζημιάς μετά την αυτοψία.

All of these are grammatical, but the emphasis changes slightly.

• Μετά την αυτοψία... emphasizes when
• Η εκτίμηση ζημιάς έγινε... emphasizes what happened
• Έγινε... gives a more event-reporting style

Greek uses the definite article much more often than English.

Here, η εκτίμηση refers to a specific event or procedure, so the article is natural:

• η εκτίμηση = the assessment

In official or narrative contexts, Greek often includes the article where English might sound fine without one.

For example:

• έγινε ο έλεγχος = the inspection/check was carried out
• υποβλήθηκε η αίτηση = the application was submitted

So the article here is not unusual at all.

Yes, depending on context.

Εκτίμηση can mean:

• assessment
• evaluation
• estimate

If this is an insurance or repair context, damage estimate may be possible, especially if the focus is on calculating cost.

If the focus is on examining and evaluating the extent of the damage, damage assessment is often better.

So the best English choice depends on the situation, but the Greek sentence itself can support either meaning.

Yes, it sounds fairly formal or administrative.

Expressions like:

• αυτοψία
• εκτίμηση ζημιάς
• έγινε

fit well in:

• insurance reports
• official statements
• technical descriptions
• legal or business contexts

In casual everyday speech, someone might say something less formal, depending on the situation. But this sentence is perfectly natural in professional Greek.
