"Ο στρατηγός είναι ο αρχηγός στο στρατό."

Translation: The general is the commander of the army.

[Spoonashy]

Using "in" instead of "of" is not accepted. Although I think the "of the army" construct is more natural in English, "in the army" doesn't sound odd to me and it follows the Greek grammar a bit more closely. :>

" The head of the army" ?

[troll1995]

That would be Η κεφαλή/Ο επικεφαλής του στρατού which may mean the same thing, but it's not the same word. ;)

Dear troll (what an expression).

I think the word "commander" is closer to "διοικητής", but.... who remembers 50 years back? 🤣

[k_terolli1]

In greek we dont say Η κεφαλή του στρατού! We say ο επικεφαλής του στρατού

Chief is not accepted?

[Katerina182939]

Is that acceptable in english? If so, then yes, it could be used, but i had in mind that chief was mainly used with tribe, team, etc
