Questions & Answers about Я змінив свою перспективу після цікавої подорожі за кордон.

What does the verb змінив mean, and why is it in the masculine form?

The verb змінив is the past tense form of змінити, which means “changed.” In Ukrainian, past tense verbs agree with the gender of the subject. Here, змінив is masculine, indicating that the speaker is male. If a female speaker were speaking, the form would be змінила instead.

What role does the pronoun свою play in this sentence?

The pronoun свою indicates possession—it means “my” or “one’s own.” It shows that the perspective being changed belongs to the speaker and agrees in gender (feminine) and case (accusative) with the noun перспективу.

Why are цікавої and подорожі in these forms, and what case are they in?

The preposition після (“after”) requires its complement to be in the genitive case. Therefore, подорожі is the genitive singular form of подорож (“trip”), and цікавої is the feminine singular genitive form of the adjective цікавий (“interesting”), so that it properly agrees with подорожі.

What is the meaning and function of the phrase за кордон?

The phrase за кордон translates as “abroad.” In this expression, за is a preposition meaning “beyond” or “over,” and кордон refers to “border.” Together, they form an adverbial phrase that specifies where the trip took place—implying travel to a foreign country.
