Questions & Answers about Почасовой тариф включает док-станцию.
What does почасовой mean, and how is it built?
Почасовой means hourly or charged by the hour.
It is built from:
- по- = a pattern often used for rates or distribution
- час = hour
- -овой = an adjective ending
So почасовой тариф literally means something like an hourly rate/tariff.
Why is it почасовой тариф, not почасовая тариф or почасовое тариф?
Because тариф is a masculine singular noun.
Russian adjectives must agree with the noun they describe in:
- gender
- number
- case
So in the nominative singular:
- masculine: почасовой
- feminine: почасовая
- neuter: почасовое
Since тариф is masculine, почасовой is the correct form.
