"I like Chemistry more than Geography."

Translation: Η Χημεία μου αρέσει περισσότερο από την Γεωγραφία.

[jeanprendiville]

Why is it necessary to place η χημεία before the verb ?

[Dimitra956826]

Well, I think it's just a matter of sentence structure.

While in English, I like something more than something else,

In Greek, κάτι μου αρέσει περισσότερο από κάτι άλλο. ^.^

It's not absolutely wrong to say "Μου αρέσει η Χημεία περισσότερο από την Γεωγραφία", but it's somehow like you're losing the emphasis on Chemistry being what you like more. ^.^ And I haven't heard it being used that often in spoken Greek, as a native speaker. ^.^

Many thanks Dimitra.

[Dimitra956826]

You're welcome ^.^

well off topic, i am graduating in geography i hated chemistry always. sorry for posting it here its just chemistry this word even sucks

[bonbayel]

But chemistry is such an important part of geology, and you can't have geography with its geological base.
(Way off topic! I wonder what that is in Greek—dictionary didn't help. My guess:
Πολύ μακριά από το θέμα.
Pretty long way to say it.)

[G.Georgopoulos]

"Εκτός θέματος" or, even more colloquially, "Άσχετο με το θέμα".

[bonbayel]

Υιατί δεν είναι "τη γεωφραφία";

[alainPierrot]

πιο από could be accepted?

[Dimitra956826]

Not really, it's grammatically incorrect. Here, you can either say περισσότερο από or πιο πολύ από. ^.^

I'm wondering why it's την Γεωγραφία rather than η Γεωγραφία. Isn't Γεωγραφία sort of a subject here? As in "Chemistry is pleasing to me more than geography is pleasing to me."

[mizinamo]

I'm wondering why it's την Γεωγραφία rather than η Γεωγραφία.

από is a preposition and requires the accusative case.

It's not like (say) German als which is a conjunction and is followed by something in the same case as the thing you are comparing with.

Thank you! I appreciate that :-)
