Questions & Answers about Każdy woli bezawaryjny sprzęt, który się nie zepsuje.
How is the word bezawaryjny formed, and what is its literal translation?
It is built from the prefix bez- (without) and the noun awaria (breakdown, failure). The suffix -yjny is added to turn it into an adjective. Literally, it means "failure-free" or "without-breakdown", which we translate naturally as "reliable".
Why is bezawaryjny sprzęt in the accusative case, but looks exactly like the dictionary form (nominative)?
The verb woleć (to prefer) requires a direct object in the accusative case. However, sprzęt is a masculine inanimate noun. For masculine inanimate nouns and their adjectives, the accusative form is identical to the nominative.
Since sprzęt is the object of the first part of the sentence, why is the relative pronoun który in the nominative case instead of the accusative?
The case of a relative pronoun like który depends on its role in its own clause, not the main clause. Here, który is the subject of the second clause (the equipment is the thing that will not break down), so it takes the nominative case.
How does the verb zepsuje się express the future tense without using a future helper verb like będzie?
The verb zepsuć się (to break down) is perfective. When you conjugate a perfective verb using standard present tense endings (here, -uje for the third person singular), it automatically refers to a completed action in the future.
