Questions & Answers about Změnu místa trvalého pobytu zaevidujeme na ohlašovně.
Why is změnu in the accusative case?
Because it is the direct object of the verb zaevidujeme (we will register / record).
The basic question is: What will we register?
Answer: změnu = the change.
The dictionary form is změna, but in the accusative singular it becomes změnu.
- změna = nominative singular
- změnu = accusative singular
So the sentence is literally structured as:
[The change] [of the place of permanent residence] [we will register] [at the registration office].
Why are místa and trvalého pobytu in the genitive?
They are in the genitive because they depend on the noun změna.
In Czech, after many nouns like změna (change), the thing being changed is often expressed in the genitive:
- změna jména = change of name
- změna adresy = change of address
- změna místa = change of place
Then místa trvalého pobytu means place of permanent residence.
So the structure is:
- změnu = the change
- místa = of the place
- trvalého pobytu = of permanent residence
A literal unpacking would be:
the change of the place of permanent residence
