Questions & Answers about Υποβάλλεται φάκελος δικαιολογητικών υπό την προϋπόθεση ότι είναι έτοιμος.
Υποβάλλεται is the 3rd person singular present middle/passive form of υποβάλλω.
In this sentence, it is used with a passive meaning: is submitted.
This is very common in formal or administrative Greek. Instead of saying who submits the documents, Greek often focuses on the procedure itself:
- Υποβάλλεται φάκελος... = A dossier/file is submitted...
- In more natural English, this often corresponds to A dossier must be submitted... or You submit a dossier...
So the passive here is not strange; it is a standard official-style way to describe requirements.
Because in the passive sentence, φάκελος is the grammatical subject.
Compare:
- Active: Ο αιτών υποβάλλει φάκελο. = The applicant submits a dossier.
- Passive: Υποβάλλεται φάκελος. = A dossier is submitted.
In the active version, φάκελο is the object, so it is accusative.
In the passive version, that same idea becomes the subject, so it changes to nominative: φάκελος.
