"Το αγόρι δεν είναι υπεύθυνο."

Translation: The boy is not responsible.

[involans]

What senses of "responsible" does υπεύθυνος cover? In control? Behaves with awareness of responsibilities? Can be blamed for something?

[troll1995]

It can be used with both meanings ;)

[joe_t4]

Η ευθύνη = responsibility, accountability, liability.

[KeithAndre18]

I heard this a lot growing up.

[emaryod]

the boy is not in charge is a correct answer, but marked as wrong

[Jezza11]

Do we have anything in English that relates to this word ... so we can remember it more easily? Thanks.

Why is "liable" (for υπεύθυνο) wrong?

[GypsyBarefoot]

Can it be υπεύθυνος as well?

Το αγόρι is grammatically neuter, so I assume it wants a neuter adjective. I recently made a similar mistake and learned that natural gender does not matter in such cases.
