Questions & Answers about Samtökin veita einhverjum framlagið.
Why is someone translated as einhverjum instead of just einhver?
The English translation says the organization (singular), so why does the verb veita look like a plural form?
What case is the word framlagið (the contribution) in here?
It is in the accusative case. The verb veita requires the thing being granted to be in the accusative case, while the receiver is in the dative. Because the base word framlag is a neuter noun, its accusative form looks exactly the same as its dictionary form, and we just add the neuter definite suffix -ið.
Why is framlagið at the very end of the sentence?
