"This man is a golf player."

Translation: Ο άντρας αυτός είναι ένας παίκτης του γκολφ.

Can the indefinite article be omitted: 'ο άντρας αυτός είναι παίκτης γκολφ'?

[Jon345104]

Ο άντρας αυτός είναι παίκτης του γκολφ was marked wrong. Ένας is not needed here as he can't be two golf players

[G.Georgopoulos]

Added! The indefinite article had not been omitted for that word order in the alternative translations.

Are you sure? I just typed "ο άντρας αυτός είναι παίκτης του γκολφ." It was rejected. Is there some other error I have failed to spot?

[G.Georgopoulos]

Yes, I remember changing it, but can't find the sentence on the database any more :/ Your answer is correct.

"αυτός ο άντρας είναι ένας καλός παίκτης" - why not???

[D_..]

The sentence says 'golf player' not 'good player' ;)

[Arzerra]

And what about the word order in "Ο άντρας αυτός"? Is it completely equivalent to "Αυτός ο άντρας" or it has an extra nuance in meaning?

[troll1995]

It is the same thing. In Greek, syntax is very plastic. In this case there is no difference. Generally there is a difference in expression.

How about "παίζων γκολφ" for "golfer"?

[troll1995]

Παίζων is an active voice participle and means "the one that plays golf (now or in general)". It does not exactly mean "the golf player". Also, it's a bit archaic.
