"Ποιο ξυράφι είναι δικό μου;"

Translation: Which razor is mine?

[earlier_to_sleep]

"Which razor is my own?" - could also be accepted, isn't it?

Thank you it has been added.

[MarotSamay]

Why do we have to use both "δικό" and "μου"? Both words indicate possession/ownership.

[jaye16]

"Μου" can indeed stand alone and means "my". However, "δικό μου" must be used together as an expression and means "mine" "my own" it is more emphatic and it must agree with the noun in gender, case, and number.

Maybe it depends where you are from, but in my part of U,K. , we say shaver, not razor, it said it was wrong!

[Floriss_]

Is 'What razor is mine?' also correct or is it just bad English? It was marked wrong.

[emaryod]

Could also be translated as Which is my razor?

[jaye16]

Yes, thank you I've added it.

The accent on ποιο is wrong. The emphasis should should be on the final ο not on the οι

[jaye16]

"ποιο, ποια, ποιος" are one-syllable words so don't take an accent. Since they are always used as question words they never take an accent. From what I see none of the sentences we have with "ποιο, ποιος, ποια" has an accent. ΙI've checked them but if you find any please point them out so we can edit them.

Sorry I didn't mean accent, i meant empasis. She pronounce it pee-yo instead of pyo

[jaye16]

Oh, yes. She does, doesn't she but we have to take into consideration that she is a machine. :-) We only have the computer generated voice (TTS). For real native pronunciation, we advise...https://forvo.com/languages/el/

Thanks for the input, it's appreciated.
