"Τα παιδιά τους"

[dieprinzessin]

What is the difference between
- ίδια τους τα παιδιά and
- τα δικά τους παιδιά ?

[mizinamo]

As far as I know:

τα ίδια τους τα παιδία = τα ίδια τα παιδιά τους = their children themselves.

τα δικά τους παιδιά = their own children.

Thanks :)

Where i wonder does the "own" come in?

[troll1995]

"Τα παιδιά τους" is "their children". "Their own children" translates as "τα ίδια τους τα παιδιά". So, something goes wrong with this sentence.

i wrote tous just with a different letter (as dont have it on my key-board!)

[mizinamo]

Try the W key. (But uncapitalised.)

At first I was mad because it marked me wrong when I misspelled "Their," but then I realized I'm an idiot and could probably use a spelling lesson.
