La persona beneficiaria recibe la cuantía de la subvención.

Persona beneficiaria is a very common formal/administrative way to say the beneficiary in Spain.

• persona = person
• beneficiaria = beneficiary / receiving the benefit

In official language, Spanish often prefers expressions like la persona beneficiaria, la persona solicitante, la persona interesada, etc. They sound more legal, precise, and often more inclusive than just using a noun like el beneficiario.

So this sentence has a clear bureaucratic/legal register.

Because beneficiaria agrees with persona, and persona is a feminine noun in Spanish.

So even if the real person is male, once the sentence uses la persona, the adjective must also be feminine:

• la persona beneficiaria
• la persona interesada
• la persona afectada

This is grammatical gender, not necessarily biological gender.

If you used the noun on its own, then you would normally choose:

• el beneficiario = male beneficiary / generic masculine
• la beneficiaria = female beneficiary

But with persona, you use beneficiaria because persona is feminine.

No. Not necessarily.

In Spanish, persona is always grammatically feminine, no matter who the person is. So:

• la persona beneficiaria could refer to a man
• la persona beneficiaria could refer to a woman

This is something English speakers often find strange at first, because English does not force this kind of gender agreement.

Here it is functioning as an adjective, because it describes persona:

• persona = noun
• beneficiaria = adjective modifying that noun

However, beneficiaria can also be used as a noun by itself:

• La beneficiaria recibe la subvención.

So the word can be either, depending on the structure.

Recibe is the third-person singular present indicative of recibir.

Infinitive:

• recibir = to receive

Present tense:

• yo recibo
• tú recibes
• él/ella/usted recibe

In this sentence, recibe matches the singular subject la persona beneficiaria.

So grammatically it means:

• he/she receives
• or the beneficiary receives

In Spanish, especially in official, legal, or administrative writing, the present tense is often used to state rules, procedures, or standard facts.

So recibe can sound like:

• receives
• is to receive
• will receive, depending on context

It does not always mean something is happening right now at this exact moment. In formal documents, the present tense often describes what happens as part of a process or regulation.

Cuantía means amount, especially in a formal, financial, or legal sense.

It is similar to cantidad, but cuantía is more specific and more official-sounding.

Roughly:

• cantidad = amount, quantity, number of something
• cuantía = amount/sum, especially of money, aid, compensation, grants, etc.

So in this sentence, la cuantía de la subvención means the amount of the grant.

Subvención usually means a grant or subsidy, often from a public authority or institution.

Compared with similar words:

• subvención = official financial support, often institutional or governmental
• beca = scholarship or grant, often for studies or research
• ayuda = help, aid, assistance; a broader, less technical word

So subvención is a fairly specific administrative term.

Because Spanish uses definite articles very naturally and often more frequently than English.

Here each noun phrase has its own article:

• La persona beneficiaria = the beneficiary person / the beneficiary
• la cuantía = the amount
• la subvención = the grant

This sounds completely normal in Spanish, even if English might feel less repetitive.

The structure noun + de + noun is very common in Spanish.

Here:

• la cuantía = the amount
• de la subvención = of the grant

So literally it is the amount of the grant.

Spanish often uses de where English might use:

• of
• a possessive
• or a more compact noun phrase

This structure is especially common in formal writing.

The sentence follows a standard Subject + Verb + Object pattern:

• La persona beneficiaria = subject
• recibe = verb
• la cuantía de la subvención = direct object

So the structure is very straightforward.

You can think of it as:

[The beneficiary] + [receives] + [the amount of the grant]

Yes, you could.

That version is grammatically correct, but it sounds a bit different in tone:

• El beneficiario... = simpler, less explicitly inclusive, still common
• La persona beneficiaria... = more formal, institutional, and typical of official documents in Spain

So the choice is mainly about register and style, not basic meaning.

Because the stress falls on the í:

• cuan-tí-a

The accent mark shows that the í is stressed and forms a separate syllable from the following a.

Without going too deep into spelling rules, the accent helps indicate the correct pronunciation:

• cuantía = three syllables

This is very common in words ending in -ía:

• economía
• policía
• garantía
