English Translation:
She likes pottery, but her husband prefers painting, especially watercolours.

Grammar Notes:
Here's the breakdown of the grammar and each word with romanisation:

- Της (Tis): This is the possessive pronoun in the genitive feminine singular form, meaning "her."

- αρέσει (arései): This is the 3rd person singular present indicative form of the verb "αρέσω" (aréso), which means "to like" or "to please." It agrees with the subject in gender and number.

- η (i): This is the definite article in the nominative feminine singular form, meaning "the."

- αγγειοπλαστική (angeioplastikí): This is the noun meaning "pottery" or "ceramics," in the nominative feminine singular form.

- αλλά (allá): This is the conjunction meaning "but."

- ο (o): This is the definite article in the nominative masculine singular form, meaning "the."

- σύζυγός (sýzygós): This is the noun meaning "husband," in the nominative masculine singular form.

- της (tis): This is the possessive pronoun in the genitive feminine singular form, meaning "her."

- προτιμά (protimá): This is the 3rd person singular present indicative form of the verb "προτιμώ" (protimó), which means "to prefer."

- τη (ti): This is the definite article in the accusative feminine singular form, meaning "the."

- ζωγραφική (zografikí): This is the noun meaning "painting," in the accusative feminine singular form.

- ιδίως (idíos): This is the adverb meaning "especially."

- τις (tis): This is the definite article in the accusative feminine plural form, meaning "the."

- ακουαρέλες (akouaréles): This is the noun meaning "watercolors," in the accusative feminine plural form.

Grammar tip: In Greek, possessive pronouns like "της" (her) indicate possession and agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Verbs like "αρέσω" (to like) and "προτιμώ" (to prefer) take indirect objects in the dative case, which often aligns with the possessive pronouns.

- Ζωγραφική (zografikí): noun, "painting."
- Ακουαρέλα (akouaréla): noun, singular "watercolor."
