Questions & Answers about Реалізація плану важлива.
What is the overall structure of the sentence "Реалізація плану важлива."?
The sentence consists of a subject and a predicate adjective. The subject is "Реалізація плану" (which means implementation of the plan), and the predicate adjective is "важлива" (meaning important). Notice that there is no explicit verb equivalent to is; Ukrainian often omits the present tense of the copula.
Why is "плану" used instead of "план"?
"Плану" is the genitive singular form of "план." In this construction, the genitive is used to show possession or association, much like the English of in implementation of the plan. The noun "реалізація" (implementation) owns or is associated with "плану" (the plan).
Why is there no verb like "is" in this sentence?
In Ukrainian, the present tense verb to be is typically omitted. So instead of saying The implementation of the plan is important, it is simply rendered as Реалізація плану важлива. The meaning of is is understood without needing an explicit word.
How does the adjective "важлива" agree with the noun "Реалізація"?
The adjective "важлива" is in the feminine singular form, which agrees with "Реалізація" because it is also feminine singular. In Ukrainian, adjectives must match the nouns they describe in gender, number, and case. This agreement is essential to the grammar of the sentence.
What does the word "реалізація" mean, and is it a false friend with the English "realization"?
In this context, "реалізація" means implementation or execution—the act of putting a plan into action. While the English word realization can sometimes mean understanding something clearly, in Ukrainian "реалізація" refers specifically to the process of carrying out a plan.
