"Our own sandwiches."

Translation: Τα δικά μας σάντουιτς.

[jackhust]

In the explanation the 3 forms Δικός/Δική/Δικό are explained. What is with the word δικά ?

[troll1995]

Δικά is the plural form of δικό (for neuter nouns). I'll make sure it's added on the tips&notes, you're absolutely right about that.

[farran]

I can see this information in the writing below the table, but could these plural forms be updated in the table please?

[troll1995]

Done! ;)

[thierry589868]

What about putting the tips and notes in the app?? I never use duo from a computer...

[troll1995]

We can agree on that. But we don't make the app, we just write the tips. :/

[cookingfortwo]

Sorry to ask, but where do I see such table or explanation?

[GarrettDiment]

Can you change the order around here, such as "τα σανδουιτς δικα μας"?

[D_..]

No, it is either (Αυτά είναι) τα δικά μας σάντουιτς = (These are) our own sandwiches, or, if you change the sentence a bit, τα σάντουιτς είναι δικά μας = the sandwiches are our own (ones). Notice how on both languages 'own' and 'sandwiches' are either together or apart, each time in the same place.

[rbotros]

I don't doubt what you said, but now I'm very confused, because it just accepted the answer GarrettDiment suggested: τα σάνδουιτς δικά μας. Was it an error that it was accepted?

[G.Georgopoulos]

A single typo usually doesn't result in an error message.

[Andreas513156]

No "ta" in the hints so I removed it after having initially used it. Then got an incorrect. Aaaarrrgh!

[jaye16]

So, sorry, I've added the "τα". Thank you for letting us know.

[MishaFromMayo]

I'm trying to get the grammar of this. "σάντοθιτς" doesn't seem to be a plural form. Or is it? What am I missing? Thanks!

[mizinamo]

It's a loanword which doesn't end in a typical Greek ending and so can't change its endings "properly" -- and thus stays the same in the plural (and also in other cases, such as the genitive).

[Marina636123]

Wondering what im missing here. Δική = mine (more than one object); δικό = mine (singular object); δικά = theirs (singular object); δικοί = theirs (more than one object). ?

[mizinamo]

Δική = mine (more than one object); δικό = mine (singular object); δικά = theirs (singular object); δικοί = theirs (more than one object). ?

No.

• δικός = one masculine object
• δική = one feminine object
• δικό = one neuter object
• δικοί = many masculine objects
• δικές = many feminine objects
• δικά = many neuter objects

None of them say whom those objects belong to -- that's the purpose of the possessive μου, σου, του, της, μας, σας, τους after it.

ο δικός μου = my own ..., ο δικός σου = your own ..., etc.

[Luke407132]

So when do I need to use the strong form δικό and when do I just use the weak form μας, σου etc.?

[Pete943718]

I entered τα σάντουιτς δικοί μας as I believed it to be masculine plural but it cam back corrected as το σάντουιτς δικό μας. Have I missed something here, or is the correction wrong?

[thekongs]

Hi there,

i've put 'Τα σάντουιτς δικοί μας.' and it let me through while indicating that i should have used 'Το σάντουιτς δικό μας." Both 'το' and 'δικό' are not in the clickable buttons provided.

[jaye16]

Hi, well I'm glad at least it wasn't marked as wrong. And we're editing this sentence so this confusion doesn't happen again. Thans for the input.
