Questions & Answers about Sami musimy przystać na taki przebieg.
Why does the verb przystać use the preposition na here, and what case follows it?
Przystać na means "to agree to" or "to consent to." Like many verbs of mental focus or expectation in this lesson, it requires the preposition na followed by the accusative case. Here, taki przebieg is the masculine inanimate accusative object.
What kind of "course" does przebieg refer to in this sentence?
Przebieg refers to the course, flow, or progression of events or a process (like a meeting, a disease, or a negotiation). It is not used for a physical path (which would be trasa or droga) or an educational class (which is kurs).
We already know "we" is implied by musimy. What exactly does Sami add here?
Placing Sami at the very beginning strongly emphasizes "We ourselves" or "We on our own." The ending -i also tells us that this "we" is a masculine personal group, meaning it includes at least one man. An all-female or entirely non-human group would use Same.
I know zgadzać się means "to agree." How is przystać na different?
While zgadzać się na is a very common way to say "to agree to," przystać na is slightly more formal and often implies yielding, conceding, or accepting terms that were proposed by someone else. You are officially "consenting" to how things are going to unfold.
