Questions & Answers about Czy on zrestartował system, żeby naprawić ten błąd?
Why is żeby followed by the infinitive naprawić instead of a conjugated verb?
When the person doing the action is the same in both parts of the sentence (he restarted the system, and he is the one fixing the error), żeby is followed by an infinitive. It translates perfectly to "in order to fix".
Do I always need a comma before żeby, like in this sentence?
Yes! Unlike English, where we usually don't put a comma before "in order to" or "to", Polish grammar requires a comma before conjunctions that introduce a new clause, including żeby, że, and bo.
Are system and ten błąd in the nominative case here? They look like their dictionary forms.
They are actually in the accusative case because they are the direct objects of their verbs (zrestartował and naprawić). For masculine inanimate nouns like system and błąd, the accusative form is identical to the dictionary (nominative) form.
Is zrestartował just the English word "restart" with Polish endings?
Basically, yes! Polish often adapts English tech vocabulary. The base verb is restartować. The prefix z- makes it perfective (indicating a completed action), and -ował is the standard past tense ending for a masculine subject.
