أخطاء شائعة

You used a masculine article for a feminine noun. Always check the ending of the noun.

Wrong: o γυναίκα
صحيح: η γυναίκα

You used the neuter indefinite article for a masculine noun. Remember: enas (masc), mia (fem), ena (neut).

Wrong: ένα άντρας
صحيح: ένας άντρας

The article must match the noun's gender. 'Φίλος' is masculine, so it needs 'ο'.

Wrong: το φίλος
صحيح: ο φίλος

أسئلة شائعة (6)

Because Greek has three genders.
No, that is grammatically incorrect.
It's a grammatical feature, not biological. It helps organize the language.
Yes, like 'η οδός' (feminine). Always check the dictionary.
Greek nouns have gender and case, so the article must match them.
Look at the noun ending: -ος (M), -α/η (F), -ο/ι (N).
