Questions & Answers about Номер отлично оборудован: здесь есть телевизор и кондиционер.
Is оборудован an adjective or a verb here?
It is a short-form past passive participle. It acts like an adjective describing the resulting state of the room, but it is formed from the verb оборудовать (to equip). Russian often uses these short forms to create passive sentences. Because номер is a masculine noun, оборудован takes the masculine zero-ending.
Why does the sentence use номер for "room" instead of комната?
комната refers to a standard room in a house or apartment. номер specifically means a hotel room. The context of a room being "equipped" with a TV and an air conditioner strongly implies a hotel or rental setting, making номер the natural choice.
Where is the word for "is" before отлично оборудован?
Just like with regular adjectives, Russian omits the verb "to be" in the present tense when using short-form participles. If you wanted to say the room was equipped, you would add the past tense verb: номер был оборудован.
If we were talking about a "kitchen" (кухня) instead of a hotel room, how would оборудован change?
Short-form participles must agree in gender and number with the subject of the sentence. Since кухня is feminine, you would add an -а to the ending, making it отлично оборудована. If the subject were plural, you would use оборудованы.
