Questions & Answers about Я люблю гуляти в природі, де всі звуки дуже спокійні.
What does the verb гуляти mean, and why is it in the infinitive form after люблю?
Гуляти means “to walk” or “to stroll.” In Ukrainian, after a verb like люблю (“I love”), you use the infinitive (гуляти) to indicate the activity you enjoy. This is similar to the English construction “I love to walk.”
What case is природі in, and why is that form used with the preposition в?
Природі is in the locative case. In Ukrainian, when expressing location with the preposition в (“in”), the noun must be in the locative case. Here, it tells us that the walking takes place “in nature.”
What role does the clause де всі звуки дуже спокійні play in the sentence?
This clause functions as a subordinate (relative) clause that modifies природі. The word де translates as “where,” so the clause gives additional information by explaining that in nature, every sound is very calm.
How do the adjective спокійні and the noun звуки agree grammatically in the sentence?
Both звуки (“sounds”) and спокійні (“calm”) are in the nominative plural form. In Ukrainian, adjectives must agree with the nouns they describe in terms of gender, number, and case—which is why спокійні correctly matches звуки.
What is the function of the word всі in the phrase де всі звуки дуже спокійні?
The word всі means “all” and emphasizes that every sound in nature is being described as calm. It serves as a universal quantifier that includes every instance of the noun звуки.
Why is there a comma before де in the sentence?
The comma is placed before де because it introduces a subordinate clause that provides extra descriptive information. Ukrainian punctuation rules require that such clauses be separated from the main clause by a comma.
