Questions & Answers about Τεκμηριώνω την ένσταση με φωτογραφικό υλικό.
What does τεκμηριώνω mean exactly?
Τεκμηριώνω means to support with evidence, to substantiate, or to document/prove properly. It is a fairly formal verb, often used in legal, administrative, academic, or official contexts.
In this sentence, it means something like I support / substantiate the objection with photographic evidence.
It comes from τεκμήριο/τεκμηρίωση, words related to evidence or documentation.
Why is it την ένσταση and not η ένσταση?
Because ένσταση is the direct object of the verb τεκμηριώνω.
- η ένσταση = the objection as the subject
- την ένσταση = the objection as the object
Greek marks this difference with case:
- nominative: η ένσταση
- accusative: την ένσταση
Since the speaker is doing something to the objection — they are substantiating it — Greek uses the accusative: την ένσταση.
