Δώσε μου μία υπόδειξη.

Δώσε is the singular informal imperative of δίνω (to give).

So this is the form you use when telling one person you know well to do something:

• Δώσε μου... = Give me...

It corresponds to English give!, but in Greek it is a specific verb form, not just the base verb.

A few related forms are:

• δίνω = I give
• έδωσα = I gave
• δώσε = give! (to one person, informal)
• δώστε = give! (to more than one person, or politely to one person)

Μου means to me or me, depending on how English expresses it.

In Δώσε μου μία υπόδειξη, it marks the person receiving the thing being given:

• Δώσε = give
• μου = to me
• μία υπόδειξη = a hint / a suggestion / an indication

So Greek uses μου where English often just says me:

• Give me a hint.
• literally: Give to-me a hint.

This μου is a weak pronoun form, and it commonly appears right after the imperative:

• Δώσε μου...
• Πες μου... = tell me...
• Φέρε μου... = bring me...

Υπόδειξη is a feminine singular noun, so the word for one / a must also be feminine singular.

That is why Greek uses μία here.

Compare:

• ένας for masculine nouns
• μία / μια for feminine nouns
• ένα for neuter nouns

Examples:

• ένας φίλος = a friend (masculine)
• μία υπόδειξη = a hint / suggestion (feminine)
• ένα βιβλίο = a book (neuter)

So μία agrees with υπόδειξη in gender and number.

Yes. In everyday modern Greek, μια is extremely common.

So both are possible:

• Δώσε μου μία υπόδειξη.
• Δώσε μου μια υπόδειξη.

The difference is mostly one of spelling style and emphasis:

• μια is the more common everyday written form
• μία can look a bit more careful, formal, or emphatic

In normal speech, learners will hear μια very often.

It can mean hint, but learners should know that υπόδειξη often sounds a bit more like:

• indication
• suggestion
• instruction
• guidance

Depending on context, it may sound more formal than the English word hint.

If someone is asking for a clue in a game or puzzle, Greek often uses:

• στοιχείο = clue
• υπόδειξη = hint / indication
• συμβουλή = advice

So υπόδειξη is correct, but its exact feel depends on context.

By itself, Δώσε μου μία υπόδειξη is informal, because Δώσε is the singular informal imperative.

You would use it with:

• a friend
• a classmate
• a sibling
• someone you speak to casually

For a more polite or formal version, use Δώστε:

• Δώστε μου μία υπόδειξη.

That can mean:

• speaking politely to one person
• speaking to more than one person

If you want to sound even softer, Greek often adds words such as:

• Παρακαλώ, δώστε μου μία υπόδειξη.
• Μπορείτε να μου δώσετε μία υπόδειξη;

This is a very natural Greek word order.

A common pattern is:

imperative + weak pronoun + noun phrase

So:

• Δώσε = give
• μου = me / to me
• μία υπόδειξη = a hint

That is why μου comes right after Δώσε.

This placement is very typical in Greek:

• Πες μου την αλήθεια. = Tell me the truth.
• Φέρε μου νερό. = Bring me water.
• Δείξε μου το βιβλίο. = Show me the book.

Putting μου later, after the noun, is not the normal choice here.

A simple pronunciation guide is:

THO-se moo MEE-a ipo-THEE-ksee

More carefully:

• Δώσε ≈ THO-se
  • δ sounds like th in this
• μου = moo
• μία = MEE-a
• υπόδειξη ≈ ipo-THEE-ksee
  • υ here sounds like ee
  • δ again is like th in this
  • ξ = ks

The stressed syllables are:

• ΔΩ-σε
• μου
• ΜΙ-α
• υ-ΠΟ-δει-ξη

A more Greek-like flow would be:

ΔΩ-se mou MI-a i-PO-thee-xi

Greek uses accent marks to show which syllable is stressed.

In Δώσε, the stress falls on the first syllable:

• ΔΩ-σε

Accent marks are written in normal Greek spelling, so they are not optional in standard writing.

The same is true in the rest of the sentence:

• Δώσε
• μία
• υπόδειξη

These accents help you pronounce the words correctly and can sometimes distinguish words that are otherwise spelled the same way.

Normally, you would keep μία here.

So the natural sentence is:

• Δώσε μου μία υπόδειξη.

Leaving it out would sound unnatural in most contexts, because Greek usually wants some determiner here when the meaning is a hint or one hint.

In English, articles can sometimes be dropped in certain expressions, but Greek is often less flexible about that.

So for learners, the safe choice is:

• use μία / μια with υπόδειξη in this sentence.
