Суд принял решение.

Because the subject суд is masculine singular, and Russian past tense verbs agree with the subject in gender and number.

• суд = masculine singular
• so the past tense form is принял

Compare:

• суд принял = the court adopted/issued a decision
• комиссия приняла = the commission adopted a decision
• правительство приняло = the government adopted a decision
• суды приняли = the courts adopted a decision

So принял tells you that the subject is one masculine noun.

The dictionary form is принять.

This is a perfective verb, meaning it presents the action as completed: the decision was made/adopted.

A useful pair is:

• принимать = imperfective
• принять = perfective

Examples:

• Суд принимал решение. = The court was making / was in the process of making a decision.
• Суд принял решение. = The court made / adopted the decision.

So in your sentence, the perfective verb shows a completed result.

Решение is in the accusative case because it is the direct object of the verb принял.

The court did what?
It adopted a decision → решение

For this noun, the accusative singular looks the same as the nominative singular:

• nominative: решение
• accusative: решение

That happens because решение is:

• neuter
• inanimate

So even though the case has changed grammatically, the form stays the same.

You know from a combination of word order, meaning, and grammar.

1. Word order
   The most neutral Russian order here is subject + verb + object:

   • Суд принял решение.

2. Verb agreement
   Принял is masculine singular, which matches суд.

3. Meaning of the verb
   Принять решение is a set expression meaning to make/adopt a decision.
   So решение is naturally the thing being adopted.

Even if both nouns can look similar in form, the sentence is very clear to a native speaker.

Because Russian has no articles like a, an, or the.

So:

• суд can mean a court or the court
• решение can mean a decision or the decision

Which one is intended depends on the context.

In many real situations, especially legal or formal ones, Суд принял решение would often be understood as The court made a decision or The court issued its decision, depending on context.

Yes, принять решение is a very common and natural collocation in Russian, especially in formal, official, and bureaucratic style.

• принять решение = to make/adopt a decision
• решить = to decide

So both can work, but they are not always identical in tone.

Compare:

• Суд принял решение. = formal, official, institutional
• Суд решил. = shorter, simpler, but less like standard legal phrasing

In legal and administrative language, принял решение sounds especially natural.

Yes. Russian word order is more flexible than English, although Суд принял решение is the most neutral order.

Possible variations include:

• Суд принял решение. = neutral
• Решение принял суд. = emphasizes that it was the court that made the decision
• Принял решение суд. = marked style; possible in certain contexts

So the words can move, but the neutral textbook version is the one you have.

Yes. In Russian, grammatical gender is not the same thing as biological sex.

Суд is grammatically masculine because of its noun type and ending pattern, not because a court is male.

That is why the verb is:

• суд принял, not суд приняла and not суд приняло

This is very common in Russian. Many non-human things are masculine, feminine, or neuter just because of grammar.

The stress is:

• суд
• при́нял
• реше́ние

A rough pronunciation guide:

• суд ≈ soot but with a shorter, tenser vowel
• при́нял ≈ PREE-nyal
• реше́ние ≈ ree-SHEN-ee-ye

A helpful full approximation is:

• soot PREE-nyal ree-SHEN-ee-ye

The stressed syllables are especially important in Russian, so при́нял and реше́ние should be learned with stress from the start.

Yes. Решение is a noun related to the verb решить.

• решить = to decide / to solve
• решение = decision / solution

This is a very useful Russian word family:

• решать = to decide / solve, imperfective
• решить = to decide / solve, perfective
• решение = decision, solution

So in your sentence, решение is the noun decision, built from the same root as the verb to decide.

Yes, depending on context, that can be a very natural translation.

Literally, принял решение is adopted/made a decision, but in legal English, a more natural rendering may be:

• The court issued a ruling
• The court handed down a decision
• The court made a decision

So the best English translation depends on whether you want:

• a literal translation
• a natural legal translation
• a general everyday translation

That is very common when translating Russian formal language into English.
