Questions & Answers about Wydajność turbin na farmie różni się w zależności od warunków.
Why does w zależności od require the word warunków to take the genitive case?
The compound phrase w zależności od (depending on) ends with the preposition od (from/of). In Polish, od always forces the following noun into the genitive case. This is why the nominative plural warunki (conditions) becomes the genitive plural warunków here.
The dictionary form of "conditions" is warunki (singular: warunek). Why is there no 'e' in warunków?
This is an example of the "fleeting e" (or mobile e). In many Polish masculine nouns ending in -ek (like warunek), the e drops out when you add a suffix for other cases. Therefore, the genitive plural becomes warunków, not waruneków.
Why is the reflexive pronoun się used with różni here?
The base verb różnić means "to differentiate" or "to tell apart" (a transitive action done to something else). By adding się, it becomes the intransitive verb różnić się, which means "to differ" or "to be different". In this sentence, the efficiency itself differs, so we need the reflexive form.
Why does the genitive plural word turbin have no ending, like -ów or -i?
turbin is the genitive plural of the feminine noun turbina. For most feminine nouns that end in -a in the nominative singular, the genitive plural is formed by simply dropping that final vowel, resulting in what we call a "zero ending".
