What's the difference between σου and σας? Could σας be used in place of σου? How are their meanings different?
"Σου" is the weak pronoun in genitive, "σε" is the weak pronoun in accusative. In a sentence, the direct object is in accusative (μία εφημερίδα) and the indirect object is in genitive (σου) or in the combination of preposition and accusative (σε + accusative)
"Σου διαβάζουν" or "Διαβάζουν σ' εσένα" = They read to you. You receive the action.
"Σε διαβάζουν" = They read you, as if you're an open book. You are the direct object of their action
Does that help at all? : )
