Questions & Answers about Η διάρκεια συμβολαίου και η λήξη φαίνονται στον λογαριασμό.

Why is φαίνονται plural and not φαίνεται?

Because the subject is actually two things joined by και:

• Η διάρκεια συμβολαίου = the contract duration
• η λήξη = the expiration / end date

Together they make a plural subject, so the verb is plural:

• φαίνεται = it appears / is shown
• φαίνονται = they appear / are shown

So the structure is basically:

• The contract duration and the expiration are shown on the bill/account.

What is the basic form of φαίνονται?

The dictionary form is φαίνομαι.

This is one of those Greek verbs that has a middle/passive form but often an active-like meaning. Depending on context, φαίνομαι can mean:

• I appear
• I seem
• I am visible

So here:

• φαίνονται = they appear / they are shown / they can be seen

In this sentence, are shown or appear is the most natural translation.
