Questions & Answers about Η εξόφληση γίνεται ηλεκτρονικά.

What does εξόφληση mean exactly? Is it just payment?

Εξόφληση means payment in full, settlement, or paying something off.

So it is close to payment, but a bit more specific than πληρωμή, which is the more general word for payment.

• πληρωμή = payment
• εξόφληση = full payment / settlement of an amount due

In many practical contexts, though, English may simply translate it as payment.

Why is there Η at the beginning?

Η is the definite article meaning the.

It is used because εξόφληση is:

• feminine
• singular
• here in the nominative case

So:

• η εξόφληση = the payment / the settlement

Greek articles change according to gender, number, and case, unlike English the, which never changes.

Why is it γίνεται and not είναι?
