Questions & Answers about Proces je pro obec důležitý.

Why is it pro obec and not pro obci?

Because pro always takes the accusative case.

The noun obec is feminine singular, and its accusative form is also obec. So after pro, obec is correct.

A quick comparison:

• nominative: obec
• genitive: obce
• dative: obci
• accusative: obec

So pro obec means for the municipality/community.

What exactly does pro mean here?

Here pro means for, in the sense of important for, relevant to, or from the point of view of.

So důležitý pro obec means that the process matters to the municipality/community.

This pattern is very common in Czech:

• důležitý pro mě = important for me
• dobrý pro zdraví = good for health
• užitečný pro studenty = useful for students

Why does důležitý end in -ý?
