See also: grant, take“Granted” means “given,/gifted” Նուիրեալ nvirial ՏվեալՏուեալ/tvyal.When one says “granted” it means it is “given”. i.e there is no argument about it. It is given/granted to us by those who may know more than we do.And while at it let us also see what "grateful/grazia/shnorhakal/շնորհակալ" means. i.e "receiver of your graces"?In the Latin "gratis" means "free" as in given with no charge.
