Questions & Answers about Фермерський ринок працює.
Why is it фермерський and not some other form like фермерська or фермерське?
Because фермерський has to agree with ринок.
- ринок = market
- It is a masculine singular noun in the nominative case
- So the adjective must also be masculine singular nominative
That gives:
- фермерський ринок = farmers’ market / farmer’s market
Compare:
- фермерський = masculine
- фермерська = feminine
- фермерське = neuter
So the ending -ий here matches ринок.
What case is ринок in here?
It is in the nominative case because it is the subject of the sentence.
In Фермерський ринок працює, the market is the thing doing the action:
- ринок = the subject
- працює = works / is operating / is open
So nominative is the expected case.
Why is there no word for the or a in the sentence?
