Italian term or phrase: diederoin
Sentence: "Gli uomini dalle parole gentili che lo avevano portato via dalle braccia di sua madre gli chiesero di cantare per loro e dopo gli diederoin premio un calice di vino rosso con molto miele". I can translate every word in this sentence except this one... Is it some special form of a more common word?

agree  Mirra_: yes, I think you explained it very well :) Perhaps - may I suggest - just put 'as' at the place of 'in' R: right! 'in exchange' sounds good as well

  -> yes, "as a reward" is most possible, "in exchange" might also be ok in this context - Thank you
