Questions & Answers about Вона дуже смілива, коли пробує щось нове.

How does the adjective смілива agree with its subject in this sentence?
The adjective смілива is in the feminine singular form to match the subject Вона (she). In Ukrainian, adjectives must agree with the noun they describe in gender, number, and case.
Why does the adjective нове appear in the neuter form instead of a feminine or masculine one?
The adjective нове modifies the pronoun щось (something), which is neuter. In Ukrainian, adjectives agree with the noun or pronoun they modify, so нове is correctly in the neuter form.
What is the function of the adverb дуже in the sentence?
The adverb дуже means “very” and is used to intensify the adjective смілива. It indicates that she is not just brave but very brave.
Why is there a comma before the conjunction коли?
The comma separates the main clause (Вона дуже смілива) from the subordinate adverbial clause (коли пробує щось нове). Ukrainian punctuation rules call for a comma before conjunctions like коли that introduce subordinate clauses.
What does the verb form пробує indicate in this context?
The verb пробує is the third-person singular present tense form of пробувати (to try), indicating that she is currently or habitually trying something new.
