Zawieszenie jest sprawne.

In this sentence, zawieszenie most commonly means suspension, especially vehicle suspension.

So Zawieszenie jest sprawne. would usually mean something like:

• The suspension is in working order.
• The suspension is functioning properly.

However, zawieszenie can have other meanings in other contexts, such as suspension, hanging, or suspending something, so the exact meaning depends on context.

Because zawieszenie is a neuter singular noun in Polish, and the adjective has to agree with it.

Polish adjective agreement:

• sprawny — masculine
• sprawna — feminine
• sprawne — neuter singular (and also some plural uses)

Since zawieszenie is neuter, we use sprawne:

• zawieszenie → neuter
• sprawne → neuter form of the adjective

Sprawne means something like:

• functional
• working properly
• in good working order
• serviceable

It often describes a machine, system, body part, or process that is operating as it should.

So jest sprawne is not just exists or is okay in a vague sense — it specifically suggests that it is working correctly.

Jest means is.

In the present tense, Polish often does omit the verb to be in some contexts, especially in informal speech or certain styles, but with sentences like this, jest is normally used:

• Zawieszenie jest sprawne. — natural, standard
• Zawieszenie sprawne. — possible in very compressed styles, like notes, inspection reports, labels, or headlines, but not the normal full sentence

So if you are learning standard Polish, use:

• X jest Y = X is Y

It is in the nominative case because it is the subject of the sentence.

Structure:

• Zawieszenie — subject, nominative
• jest — verb
• sprawne — predicate adjective agreeing with the subject

This is similar to English The suspension is functional, where the suspension is the subject.

Because Polish does not have articles like a or the.

So zawieszenie can mean:

• a suspension
• the suspension

Which one is meant depends on context.

In a real situation, if you are talking about a specific car that has already been mentioned, zawieszenie would naturally be understood as the suspension.

Not necessarily from grammar alone, but that is the most likely interpretation.

Zawieszenie often refers to:

• a car’s suspension
• a mechanical suspension system
• sometimes other kinds of suspension depending on context

Without context, the sentence just says that the suspension is functioning properly. In everyday use, many people would assume it is about a vehicle or machine.

Yes, and it is similar, but not exactly the same.

• Zawieszenie działa. — The suspension works / is working.
• Zawieszenie jest sprawne. — The suspension is functional / in good working order.

The difference is subtle:

• działa focuses on the fact that it works
• jest sprawne focuses more on its condition or proper functioning

In technical or inspection-style language, jest sprawne is especially common.

Yes, Polish word order is fairly flexible.

The neutral, standard order is:

• Zawieszenie jest sprawne.

You might also see:

• Sprawne jest zawieszenie.

But that second version sounds more marked or contrastive, as if emphasizing it is the suspension that is functional.

For a learner, the normal and safest version is:

• Zawieszenie jest sprawne.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

• zawieszenie ≈ zah-vye-SHE-nye
• jest ≈ yest
• sprawne ≈ SPRAHV-ne

A few helpful points:

• Polish stress is usually on the second-to-last syllable
• sz sounds like English sh
• w sounds like English v
• j sounds like English y

So the whole sentence is approximately:

zah-vye-SHE-nye yest SPRAHV-ne

No. Sprawny and its forms can be used for several kinds of things.

For example:

• sprawny samochód — a roadworthy / functional car
• sprawny komputer — a working computer
• sprawny system — an efficient or functioning system
• sprawny fizycznie — physically fit / able-bodied

So the core idea is capable, functional, working well, but the exact English translation depends on context.

You negate jest with nie:

• Zawieszenie nie jest sprawne. — The suspension is not functional / not in good working order.

This is the normal way to say it.

You might also hear related sentences such as:

• Zawieszenie jest niesprawne. — The suspension is faulty / unserviceable.

That version uses the adjective niesprawne rather than negating the verb. Both are correct, but niesprawne can sound a bit more compact and technical.
