"Εσύ ακούς τον άντρα."

Translation: You are listening to the husband.

[Stergi3]

ακούς: Many times means obey. It depends on the context. i.e. Η γυναίκα πρέπει να ακούει τον άντρα της= Woman should obey her husband. Not too feministic, but usual in the old times.

[spdl79]

Stergi, would it be more common to use υπακούω for obey nowadays though?

[Stergi3]

Yes, that's true. But look at the several meanings of ακούω here: https://el.wiktionary.org/wiki/%CE%B1%CE%BA%CE%BF%CF%8D%CF%89 and the examples.

[ErikdenB]

I reported it elsewhere too, but I find it quite ridiculous that in the tips and notes, you spell άνδρας, and here it is with a τ instead. These inconsistencies make it very hard to actually learn the underlying grammar, especially if you then start marking άνδρας as entirely wrong... -.-'

[Martinope]

Could it also mean "You hear the man"? If not, how would one say that?

[Theo_Matrakas]

Yes, it means both you hear the man and you listen to the man

[Charaxan]

Well, in English, "listen" is also used to "obey". Like "listen to your mother and clean up your room".

[Gallos80]

How can you make the difference between "hear" and "listen to" ? I thought "akous" = you hear / "prosoheis" = you listen to

[Dimitra956826]

There isn't a different word for hear and *listen to * in Greek, so it solely depends on sentence context, to decide which one to use in English. ^.^
