Questions & Answers about Налогооблагаемый доход указан в справке о доходах.
Why is налогооблагаемый such a long word, and what does it literally mean?
Налогооблагаемый means taxable.
It is built from parts:
- налог = tax
- облагать / обложить = to impose, to levy, to charge
- -емый = a common adjective/participle ending meaning something like that is subject to or that can be
So налогооблагаемый доход literally means something like income that is subject to tax.
In normal English, we just say taxable income.
Why is доход in the nominative case?
Because доход is the grammatical subject of the sentence.
The structure is basically:
- Налогооблагаемый доход = taxable income
- указан = is indicated / is stated
- в справке о доходах = in the income certificate / statement of income
So the sentence is saying that the taxable income is the thing being stated in the document. That is why доход is in the nominative singular.
Also, the adjective налогооблагаемый agrees with доход:
- masculine
- singular
- nominative
Why is the word указан used instead of a full verb like указывается or был указан?
