Questions & Answers about Ova tvornica ima brzu proizvodnju.
Why do brzu and proizvodnju end in -u here?
They are the direct object of the verb ima (has), so they must be in the accusative case. Both the feminine noun proizvodnja and its matching adjective brza change their -a ending to -u in the accusative.
The noun tvornica comes from the verb tvoriti (to form or create). How do we apply this lesson's rules to make its passive participle?
To form the passive participle for a regular verb like tvoriti, we drop the infinitive ending to find the stem and add the -en ending. This gives us tvoren (formed or created) for the masculine singular form.
Proizvodnju means production. How do we form the passive participle (produced) from its related verb proizvesti?
The verb proizvesti gives us the passive participle proizveden. The stem used for this participle ends in the consonant d, so we add the standard -en ending taught in this lesson.
Could we use a passive participle in the same way we use the adjective brzu in this sentence?
Yes! Passive participles function exactly like regular adjectives and take the same case endings. For example, you could say Ova tvornica ima proizvedenu robu (This factory has produced goods), where the passive participle proizvedenu takes the exact same feminine accusative -u ending as brzu.
