Είστε μεγαλύτερα απ' αυτή

English Translation

You’re older than her.

The sentence “Είστε μεγαλύτερα απ’ αυτή” is not grammatically correct in standard Greek usage. The issue lies in the agreement between the subject and the adjective.

If you are addressing a group of people, the correct form would be “Είστε μεγαλύτεροι απ’ αυτή” (You are bigger than her/this).

If you are addressing a single person, you would say “Είστε μεγαλύτερος απ’ αυτή” (if the person is male) or “Είστε μεγαλύτερη απ’ αυτή” (if the person is female).

For a group of all males, you would say “Είστε μεγαλύτεροι απ’ αυτή” (You are bigger than her/this).

For a group of all females, you would say “Είστε μεγαλύτερες απ’ αυτή” (You are bigger than her/this).

In both cases, the adjective “μεγαλύτεροι” (for males) and “μεγαλύτερες” (for females) agrees in gender and number with the group being addressed.

Τhe sentence “Είστε μεγαλύτερα απ’ αυτή” could work in a context where the speaker is addressing a group of animals or inanimate objects. In such cases, the adjective “μεγαλύτερα” (bigger) can be used to describe the size of the animals or objects, regardless of their gender.

For example, if a speaker is talking to a group of dogs or a collection of large items, they might say “Είστε μεγαλύτερα απ’ αυτή” to indicate that the group is larger than a specific reference point (like one dog or one item). In this context, the use of the neuter plural form “μεγαλύτερα” is appropriate.

I encourage everyone reading posts of this user not to take them seriously, as they are full of factually incorrect misinformation based on complete lack of understanding of both the AI and the Greek language.

These “explanations” you’re sharing are worthless, it’s just some AI blabber which is not based on any proper research.

This sentence is perfectly ok in many contexts. For example, let’s say your daughters don’t want to go to school, saying that their younger sister (who doesn’t even go to school yet) can stay at home and that’s not fair. You can then say to them:

Κορίτσια, είστε μεγαλύτερα απ’ αυτή, τότε πρέπει να πάτε στο σχολείο! / Girls, you’re older than her, so you have to go to school!

Therefore, already the first sentence of your grammatical “explanations” is completely wrong - the example you’re attempting to discuss is grammatically correct, despite of what your AI told you.
