Questions & Answers about Нам нужно много организаторов для этого проекта.
Why does организатор change to организаторов here?
After quantity words like много (many), we use the Genitive plural case for countable nouns. Since организатор (organizer) is a masculine noun ending in a consonant, its Genitive plural ending is -ов.
Since 'many organizers' refers to multiple people, why is the word for 'needed' in the neuter singular form (нужно)?
In Russian grammar, a quantity word plus its noun (like много организаторов) is treated as a single neuter block. Because of this, it pairs with the neuter form нужно rather than the plural form нужны.
Why do we use Нам instead of Мы for 'We need'?
Russian expresses 'we need' as 'to us is necessary'. Нам is the Dative case of мы (we), representing 'to us'.
Why is 'this project' translated as этого проекта instead of этот проект?
The preposition для (for) always requires the following noun and its adjectives to be in the Genitive case. The masculine phrase этот проект changes to the Genitive singular этого проекта.
