"My mother is a secretary."

[DarrenReiley]

I'm confused about the ending of γραμματέας. Is it unusual for a feminine noun to end in -ας? How do the declensions work for this ending in accusative? Πιγαινω στην γραμματέα?

[Dimitra956826]

Female nouns don't end just in -η or -α. It's just the most common of female endings. Female nouns ending in -ας (like γραμματέας), or -ος (like έξοδος, είσοδος) are way fewer and less common than the ones ending in -η or -α.

And yes. Female nouns ending in -ας do form the accusative in -α. ^.^

Why not a judge?

Judge is δικαστής.

Just a jab about expectation...

In all fairness, we do have male secretaries and female lawyers and architects in this unit, so one can't say the authors of this language tree are sexist!
