"Αυτός είναι ο γιος μου."

Translation: This is my son.

[J.C.M.H.]

Modern Greek γιος is similar to Ancient Greek υἱός. Is γιος descendant from υἱός?

[Dimitra956826]

Yes, of course. ^.^ (Νot to be confused with the word ιός, which is a translation to "virus" xD).

[J.C.M.H.]

OK, thanks!

Κοροναϊός :/

Well, the spelling is different but it does sound almost the same.

There's the story about the doctor who told the patient...."Έχετε έναν κακό ιό." to which the patient replied: "Ο γιος μου είναι πολύ καλό παιδί."

Somehow, this year that's no longer funny. Wishing everyone out there good health...take the recommended precautions.

υιός is also the Katharevousa form of son. I think it's still used occasionally in set phrases such as "άσωτος υιός", prodigal son.

[mizinamo]

The root is also in υιοθετώ "to adopt", which I don't think is ever written γιοθετώ.

[D_..]

It's not! :)

[J.C.M.H.]

OK, thanks!

Could this sentence also be translated as "He is my son"?

[Dimitra956826]

Yes it could, but keep in mind that the pronoun is not necessary. Mostly because each verb has its own form. Αυτός is used for a bit more emphasis, translating to this.

However, you might notice that the pronouns are used in several skills, for the sake of teaching. ^.^

I asked that two days ago, but no one has replied yet. :-?
Let’s wait and see.

Search your feeling, you know it to be true
