Questions & Answers about Nowy kierownik szybko rozwiązuje problemy.
Wait, the lesson is about the -ywać suffix, but the verb here is rozwiązuje. Where did the suffix go?
The infinitive of this verb is rozwiązywać (to solve - imperfective), which is formed from the perfective rozwiązać. Whenever verbs end in -ywać (or -ować), that suffix changes to -uj- when conjugated in the present tense. Therefore, rozwiązywać becomes rozwiązuje for the third-person singular (he/she/it solves).
Why do we use the imperfective form rozwiązywać instead of the perfective rozwiązać in this sentence?
We use the imperfective aspect here because the sentence describes a general habit or ongoing characteristic of the new manager. He solves problems regularly as a recurring part of his job, rather than focusing on the completion of one specific problem.
What case is problemy in here?
It is in the accusative case because it acts as the direct object of the verb rozwiązuje. Because problem is a masculine inanimate noun, its plural accusative form (problemy) looks exactly the same as its plural nominative (dictionary) form.
