Questions & Answers about Η εκπρόθεσμη πληρωμή έγινε, παρόλα αυτά η ένσταση προχωράει.
Because πληρωμή is a feminine singular noun, and the adjective has to agree with it in gender, number, and case.
- η πληρωμή = the payment
- εκπρόθεσμη = late / overdue
So:
- η εκπρόθεσμη πληρωμή = the late payment
If the noun changed, the adjective would change too:
- ο εκπρόθεσμος λογαριασμός = the overdue bill
- το εκπρόθεσμο έγγραφο = the overdue document
Here both words are in the nominative singular feminine.
Εκπρόθεσμη means late, out of time, or past the deadline. It is often used in formal or administrative contexts.
So εκπρόθεσμη πληρωμή is not just any payment — it is a payment made after the due date.
Related idea:
- προθεσμία = deadline
- εκπρόθεσμος / εκπρόθεσμη / εκπρόθεσμο = overdue, late
This is a more formal word than just saying something happened late.
