Questions & Answers about Ο δικαιούχος αποζημίωσης έστειλε τα έγγραφα.
What does ο mean here?
Ο is the definite article meaning the.
In this sentence, ο is:
- masculine
- singular
- nominative
That tells you that δικαιούχος is being treated as a masculine singular subject: the beneficiary / the person entitled.
Why is it ο δικαιούχος and not some other article form?
Because δικαιούχος is the subject of the sentence, so it appears in the nominative case.
The article has to match the noun in:
- gender
- number
- case
So:
- ο δικαιούχος = masculine singular nominative
If the same noun were a direct object, the article would usually change:
- τον δικαιούχο
Why is αποζημίωσης in that form?
