Questions & Answers about Ο δικαιούχος λογαριασμού και ο συνδικαιούχος ελέγχουν το IBAN.
Because both δικαιούχος and συνδικαιούχος are singular masculine nouns, and each one has its own definite article ο.
So:
- ο δικαιούχος = the beneficiary / account holder
- ο συνδικαιούχος = the co-beneficiary / joint holder
In Greek, when two singular nouns are joined by και (and), it is very common to repeat the article if both nouns are definite:
- ο Α και ο Β = the A and the B
This is more natural than using just one article here.
Δικαιούχος is a common formal Greek word meaning someone who has the right to something, or someone entitled to something.
Depending on context, it can mean:
- beneficiary
- entitled person
- holder
- account holder in banking contexts
In this sentence, because of λογαριασμού (of account), δικαιούχος λογαριασμού means something like:
- account holder
- beneficiary of the account
So the banking context determines the most natural English meaning.
