Έκανα αναγγελία ζημιάς ηλεκτρονικά.

Yes, έκανα is the past form of κάνω, which literally means do / make. But in Greek, κάνω is also used in many expressions where English uses a more specific verb.

So έκανα αναγγελία ζημιάς literally looks like I made a damage report, but in natural English it is better understood as I filed / submitted a damage report.

This is very common in Greek:

• κάνω αίτηση = submit/make an application
• κάνω δήλωση = make/file a statement
• κάνω κράτηση = make a reservation

So here έκανα is a normal and natural choice.

Έκανα is the past tense form of κάνω. More specifically, it is the aorist form used as a simple past in everyday Greek.

It usually refers to a completed action:

• Έκανα αναγγελία ζημιάς = I filed a damage report

The focus is on the fact that the action happened and was completed, not on its duration.

Because ζημιάς is in the genitive case.

The base noun is:

• η ζημιά = the damage

In the sentence, it follows αναγγελία:

• αναγγελία ζημιάς

This means something like:

• report of damage
• damage report

Greek often uses the genitive where English uses of or a noun-noun combination.

So:

• αναγγελία ζημιάς = literally announcement/report of damage
• natural English: damage report

Greek often leaves out articles in expressions of this kind, especially when talking about an action in a general or official sense.

So:

• Έκανα αναγγελία ζημιάς = I made/filed a damage report

This sounds natural even without articles.

If you added an article, the meaning could become more specific:

• Έκανα την αναγγελία της ζημιάς = I filed the report of the damage / I filed the damage report

That version points to a more specific, known report or known damage. The article-free version is often more neutral and idiomatic in contexts like insurance, claims, or procedures.

Αναγγελία means announcement, notification, or report, depending on context.

In administrative, insurance, or formal situations, it often refers to officially reporting something. So in this sentence, αναγγελία ζημιάς is best understood as:

• damage report
• notification of damage
• claim report (depending on the situation)

It is a fairly formal word. In other contexts, Greek might use:

• δήλωση ζημιάς = damage declaration/report

Both can appear in insurance-related language, though the exact preferred term depends on the institution.

Here ηλεκτρονικά is an adverb, meaning:

• electronically
• online (depending on context)

It describes how the report was filed.

So:

• Έκανα αναγγελία ζημιάς ηλεκτρονικά = I filed a damage report electronically / online

Even though ηλεκτρονικά looks like a plural adjective form in other contexts, here it functions adverbially.

Compare:

• ηλεκτρονική αίτηση = electronic application → adjective
• έκανα την αίτηση ηλεκτρονικά = I submitted the application electronically → adverb

Yes. In real usage, ηλεκτρονικά often covers both ideas.

Strictly speaking, it means electronically, but in many everyday contexts it is naturally translated as:

• online
• through the internet
• via an electronic system

The best translation depends on the situation. If this is about filing a claim on a website or app, online is often the most natural English version.

Yes, Greek word order is more flexible than English word order.

The sentence as written is completely natural:

• Έκανα αναγγελία ζημιάς ηλεκτρονικά

It presents the action first, then the object, then the manner.

Other orders are possible, for example:

• Ηλεκτρονικά έκανα αναγγελία ζημιάς
  This gives extra emphasis to electronically.
• Αναγγελία ζημιάς έκανα ηλεκτρονικά
  This could sound more contrastive or marked, depending on context.

So the original order is the most neutral and straightforward one.

Yes, it is a common formal/administrative combination, especially in insurance or claims contexts.

Greek often builds these formal expressions with:

• a noun naming the action/process
• plus a genitive noun specifying what it concerns

So:

• αναγγελία ζημιάς = damage report / notification of damage

This kind of structure is very common in Greek:

• αίτηση εργασίας = job application
• άδεια οδήγησης = driving licence
• δήλωση εισοδήματος = income declaration / tax return

Once you recognize the pattern, these phrases become easier to understand.

Yes, especially in a formal, administrative, or customer-service context. It sounds natural, though somewhat official.

For example, someone might say it when talking to:

• an insurance company
• a bank
• customer support
• an employer

In very casual conversation, a speaker might choose a slightly less formal phrasing depending on context, but this sentence is perfectly normal and idiomatic.

Yes. The accent still matters in Greek, even with capital letters.

So it is written:

• Έκανα

In modern Greek, capitals can and often do keep their accent marks, especially at the beginning of a sentence. For learners, it is very helpful to pay attention to them because the accent shows which syllable is stressed:

• Έκανα → stress on Έ

That stress is important for correct pronunciation.
