Questions & Answers about Υπέβαλα την αίτηση αποζημίωσης, μα όχι τη μαρτυρία.
Υπέβαλα is the 1st person singular simple past of υποβάλλω (to submit / to file).
So it means I submitted or I filed.
A few useful points:
- υποβάλλω = present tense, imperfective aspect
- υπέβαλα = past tense, perfective aspect, referring to a completed action
In this sentence, it presents the submission as a single completed event.
Both την αίτηση and τη μαρτυρία are in the accusative case, because they are the direct objects of Υπέβαλα.
- η αίτηση = the application / claim
- την αίτηση = the application / claim (accusative)
- η μαρτυρία = the testimony / witness statement
- τη μαρτυρία = the testimony (accusative)
Since I submitted something, Greek marks those somethings as direct objects in the accusative.
