Questions & Answers about Jest awaria. W związku z tym sklep jest nieczynny.
What does the phrase w związku z tym literally mean?
It is a very common linking phrase meaning "therefore" or "because of this." Literally, it translates to "in connection with this." The noun związek means "connection" or "relationship," so w związku is "in connection" (using the Locative case).
Why use nieczynny for "closed" instead of zamknięty?
Nieczynny literally means "inactive" or "out of service" (from czynny, meaning active or open for business). You use it for shops, offices, or machines to say they aren't operating to the public. Zamknięty just means physically closed, like a locked door.
What case is tym in the phrase z tym?
It is in the Instrumental case. The preposition z meaning "with" always requires the Instrumental case. Here, tym is the Instrumental form of the pronoun to (this).
What kinds of breakdowns can awaria refer to?
Awaria is a very versatile word for a breakdown, malfunction, or failure. You can use it for mechanical or systemic problems, like a broken down car, a plumbing leak, a power outage (awaria prądu), or a crashed computer network.
