Questions & Answers about Το αφεντικό πήρε ένα φυτό.

Why is it το αφεντικό and not ο αφεντικός or η αφεντικό?

Because αφεντικό is a neuter noun in Greek.

So:

• το αφεντικό = the boss
• not ο or η, because those are the masculine and feminine singular definite articles

This is a good example of how natural gender and grammatical gender do not always match. Even if the boss is a man or a woman, the noun αφεντικό stays neuter.
