Questions & Answers about Η εκδήλωση ενδιαφέροντος έγινε ηλεκτρονικά.
What is the grammatical subject of the sentence?
The subject is Η εκδήλωση ενδιαφέροντος.
- Η = the (feminine singular, nominative)
- εκδήλωση = expression / declaration / manifestation
- ενδιαφέροντος = of interest
So the whole subject phrase means the expression of interest.
Why is ενδιαφέροντος in the form ενδιαφέροντος instead of ενδιαφέρον?
Because Greek uses the genitive here to express the idea of of.
- το ενδιαφέρον = the interest (dictionary form, nominative)
- του ενδιαφέροντος = of the interest (genitive)
In the phrase εκδήλωση ενδιαφέροντος, the second noun tells you what kind of expression it is: an expression of interest. This is a very common Greek pattern.
Why is there no article before ενδιαφέροντος?
Because in Greek, especially in fixed or formal expressions, the second noun often appears without an article.
So:
- εκδήλωση ενδιαφέροντος = expression of interest
- η εκδήλωση του ενδιαφέροντος would sound more specific, like the expression of the interest, and is less natural in this bureaucratic phrase
The version without the article is the standard set expression.
