Questions & Answers about Musimy kontynuować ten projekt bez względu na rezultat.
Why is rezultat in the Accusative case here when the preposition bez usually takes the Genitive?
While it is true that bez requires the Genitive case, bez względu na acts as a fixed compound preposition. The final word in the phrase is na, which dictates the case of the following noun. In this abstract context, na takes the Accusative case, so we use the Accusative rezultat.
If rezultat and ten projekt are in the Accusative case, why don't their endings change?
Both projekt and rezultat are masculine inanimate nouns. A key rule for masculine inanimate nouns is that their Accusative form is identical to their Nominative (dictionary) form. That is why neither word changes its ending here.
Is there a perfective version of kontynuować we should use here since a project has an end goal?
No, kontynuować (to continue) is an imperfective verb that generally does not have a direct perfective equivalent in common use. By definition, continuing is an ongoing process or state rather than a single completed event, so the imperfective aspect is exactly what you need.
Could I use niezależnie od instead of bez względu na to mean the same thing?
Yes, niezależnie od is a very common synonym for bez względu na, and both mean exactly the same thing in this context. Just keep in mind that od requires the Genitive case, so the sentence would change to: Musimy kontynuować ten projekt niezależnie od rezultatu.
