Questions & Answers about Срок подачи указан в налоговой декларации.
What does срок подачи mean, and why is подачи in that form?
Срок can mean term, time limit, or deadline. In this sentence, it means deadline.
Подачи is the genitive singular form of подача, meaning submission or filing. Russian very often uses a noun + genitive noun structure where English uses either:
- a compound noun: filing deadline
- or an of phrase: deadline of submission
So срок подачи is literally deadline of filing/submission, but naturally it means filing deadline.
Why is it указан, not указанный?
Because указан is the short form of a passive participle, and short forms are commonly used as part of the predicate:
- Срок подачи указан. = The filing deadline is stated/specified.
By contrast, указанный is the full form, and it usually works like an adjective directly modifying a noun:
- указанный срок подачи = the specified filing deadline
So in your sentence, Russian needs the short form because the sentence is saying something about the subject, not just attaching a descriptive adjective to it.
