Questions & Answers about Tento program bude stačit.

What does tento mean, and why is it tento here?

Tento means this.

It appears in the form tento because it has to agree with program in:

• gender: masculine inanimate
• number: singular
• case: nominative

So tento program = this program.

Compare:

• tento program = this program
• tato kniha = this book
• toto město = this city

Czech demonstratives change form much more than English this does.

What case is program in?

Program is in the nominative singular.

In this sentence, it is the subject of the sentence, so nominative is exactly what you would expect.

A rough structure is:

• Tento program = the subject
• bude stačit = the predicate, meaning will be enough / will suffice

Also, program is a masculine inanimate noun.

Why does Czech say bude stačit instead of using one future-tense verb form?
