Ο δικαιούχος της επιδότησης λαμβάνει την επιδότηση.

Δικαιούχος means beneficiary, recipient, or literally the person entitled to receive something. In this sentence, it refers to the person who has the right to get the subsidy.

It is a masculine singular noun here:

• ο δικαιούχος = the beneficiary

Depending on context, Greek can also use this word in a more official or administrative sense than everyday English beneficiary.

Ο is the definite article meaning the.

So:

• δικαιούχος = beneficiary / a beneficiary
• ο δικαιούχος = the beneficiary

Greek uses the definite article very regularly, often more consistently than English. In a full sentence like this, using the article is completely normal.

Because της επιδότησης is in the genitive case, which here shows a relationship like of the subsidy.

So:

• η επιδότηση = the subsidy nominative form
• της επιδότησης = of the subsidy genitive form

That means:

• ο δικαιούχος της επιδότησης = the beneficiary of the subsidy

This is one of the most common uses of the genitive in Greek: expressing of.

Because here επιδότηση is the direct object of the verb λαμβάνει.

So:

• την επιδότηση = the subsidy in the accusative case

Compare the forms:

• η επιδότηση = nominative, used for the subject
• της επιδότησης = genitive, of the subsidy
• την επιδότηση = accusative, used as the object

In this sentence:

• ο δικαιούχος is the subject
• λαμβάνει is the verb
• την επιδότηση is the object

Λαμβάνει is the 3rd person singular present tense of λαμβάνω, meaning to receive or to obtain.

So:

• λαμβάνω = I receive
• λαμβάνει = he/she/it receives

In this sentence:

• Ο δικαιούχος ... λαμβάνει ... = The beneficiary receives ...

This verb is somewhat more formal or administrative than everyday παίρνω (to get / take). In official language, λαμβάνει is very common.

Yes, grammatically it could, but the tone would be different.

• λαμβάνει = more formal, official, bureaucratic
• παίρνει = more everyday, conversational

So:

• Ο δικαιούχος της επιδότησης λαμβάνει την επιδότηση. sounds official and document-like.
• Ο δικαιούχος της επιδότησης παίρνει την επιδότηση. is understandable, but less formal.

Because this sentence sounds like something from an official text, λαμβάνει is the more natural choice.

Greek often shows this through case endings and articles, not only through word order.

In this sentence:

• ο δικαιούχος = nominative → subject
• την επιδότηση = accusative → direct object

So even before translating, you can identify:

• who does the action = ο δικαιούχος
• what receives the action = την επιδότηση

This is very useful, because Greek word order can be more flexible than English.

No, not as fixed as in English.

The standard neutral order here is:

• Ο δικαιούχος της επιδότησης λαμβάνει την επιδότηση.

But Greek could also change the order for emphasis, for example:

• Την επιδότηση λαμβάνει ο δικαιούχος της επιδότησης.

That would still be understandable because the cases show the roles of the nouns.

However, the original version is the most neutral and natural for a straightforward statement.

Greek often repeats nouns in formal or administrative language for clarity.

So instead of saying something like:

• Ο δικαιούχος της επιδότησης τη λαμβάνει.

an official text may prefer:

• Ο δικαιούχος της επιδότησης λαμβάνει την επιδότηση.

This avoids ambiguity and sounds more precise. In everyday speech, a pronoun might be more likely if the meaning is already clear.

Επιδότηση is feminine.

You can see that from the article forms:

• η επιδότηση = nominative feminine singular
• της επιδότησης = genitive feminine singular
• την επιδότηση = accusative feminine singular

So the article changes with the case, but the noun remains clearly feminine.

Because δικαιούχος is a masculine noun in this sentence, and masculine singular nouns commonly use:

• ο in the nominative singular

So:

• ο δικαιούχος = nominative masculine singular

Many masculine Greek nouns end in -ος, though not all nouns ending in -ος are masculine. Gender has to be learned with the article:

• ο δικαιούχος → masculine

That is why learning nouns together with their article is very helpful.

It is pronounced roughly like:

thi-keh-OO-hos

A more careful breakdown:

• δι sounds like thi in modern Greek pronunciation
• και sounds like keh
• ού is stressed: OO
• χος sounds like hos, but the χ is a rough sound, not an English h exactly

The stress mark shows where the emphasis goes:

• δικαιούχος

So the stress is on ού.

A very important one: how Greek uses cases with articles and nouns.

This sentence shows three key forms:

• ο δικαιούχος → nominative: the subject
• της επιδότησης → genitive: of the subsidy
• την επιδότηση → accusative: the direct object

So in one short sentence, you can see how Greek marks:

1. who does the action
2. a possession/relationship with of
3. what receives the action

That is one of the core building blocks of Greek grammar.
