Questions & Answers about Екологія важлива для збереження природних ресурсів нашої планети.

What are the main components of this sentence, and how do they function?

The sentence is structured as follows: • Екологія – the subject (meaning “ecology”). • Важлива – the predicate adjective (“is important”) that agrees with the feminine noun Екологія. • Для збереження природних ресурсів нашої планети – a prepositional phrase indicating purpose, which translates to “for the preservation of the natural resources of our planet.”

Why is the adjective важлива in the feminine form?
In Ukrainian, adjectives must agree with the nouns they modify in gender, number, and case. Since Екологія is a feminine singular noun, the adjective важлива is also in the feminine singular form.
What is the function of the preposition для, and which case does it require?
The preposition для means “for” and is used to indicate purpose or benefit. In Ukrainian, для always governs nouns in the genitive case. That's why the noun збереження (meaning “preservation”) that follows is in its genitive form.
How do the phrases природних ресурсів and нашої планети work grammatically in the sentence?

Both phrases provide a detailed description of what is being preserved: • Природних ресурсів (“natural resources”) is in the genitive plural, with природних as the adjective agreeing with ресурсів in gender, number, and case. • Нашої планети (“of our planet”) is also in the genitive case; the possessive adjective нашої (meaning “our”) is in the feminine singular genitive form to agree with планети (which means “planet” and is feminine).

Is the word order in Ukrainian similar to English, and what should English speakers keep in mind?
While the basic meaning and order (subject followed by a predicate and additional phrases) can appear similar to English, Ukrainian relies heavily on case endings to indicate relationships between words. This means that even if the word order shifts for emphasis, the case endings (such as those required by для or the possessive forms) will clearly signal the grammatical roles. English speakers should pay close attention to these endings as they convey important information about agreement and relationships within the sentence.
