Questions & Answers about Наш вылет перенесли, но, к счастью, информация о вылете быстро появилась на табло.
In Russian, the 3rd person plural is very often used with an indefinite or unnamed subject, similar to English they in sentences like They postponed our flight.
So:
- Наш вылет перенесли = Our departure was postponed / They postponed our departure
Russian often prefers this structure instead of a passive.
Here, перенесли is:
- past tense
- plural
- perfective
- from перенести = to move / postpone / reschedule
The sentence does not mean that our departure itself is plural. The verb is plural because the implied people who did it are unspecified: airline staff, airport staff, etc.
Because вылет is a masculine noun.
So the possessive pronoun must agree with it:
- наш вылет = masculine
- наша would be used with a feminine noun
- наше with a neuter noun
This is basic adjective/pronoun agreement in Russian:
- gender
- number
- case
Here вылет is masculine singular nominative, so наш is the correct form.
