Questions & Answers about Отель забронирован, вам нужно подтвердить регистрацию.
Why do we use the short form забронирован here instead of a long-form participle?
In Russian, when a participle is the main verb or predicate of a sentence (saying what happened to the subject), we use the short form. Here, the hotel is booked, so the short-form past passive participle забронирован acts as the predicate.
How is забронирован formed, and why does it have this specific ending?
It comes from the perfective verb забронировать (to book). To form the short past passive participle, we take the verb stem and add -н. Since отель (hotel) is a masculine noun, the participle takes the masculine zero-ending, resulting in забронирован.
Why is it вам нужно instead of вы нужно?
The word нужно (it is necessary) is an impersonal word. In Russian, the person who experiences this need must be in the Dative case. Therefore, the nominative вы (you) becomes the dative вам (to you).
Why does the word for registration change to регистрацию in this sentence?
It is the direct object of the action подтвердить (to confirm), which means it must be in the Accusative case. For feminine nouns ending in -я like регистрация, the Accusative ending changes to -ю.
