Questions & Answers about Завтра мы ночуем в гостинице и беседуем с самыми важными партнёрами.
Why do the infinitive verbs ночевать and беседовать change to ночуем and беседуем here?
Verbs ending in -овать and -евать follow a special pattern. In the present tense, they drop the -ова- or -ева- part and replace it with -у- or -ю- before adding the standard endings. That is why ночевать turns into ночу- plus -ем (ночуем) and беседовать turns into беседу- plus -ем (беседуем).
The word завтра means tomorrow, so why are the verbs ночуем and беседуем in the present tense?
Just like in English (Tomorrow we are staying), Russian frequently uses the present tense to talk about future actions that are already planned, scheduled, or considered certain to happen.
Why does the phrase с самыми важными партнёрами have those specific endings?
The preposition с meaning "with" requires the instrumental case. Because we are talking about plural partners, the noun takes the plural instrumental ending -ами (партнёрами), and both adjectives take the plural instrumental ending -ыми (самыми важными).
How does the word самыми translate to "the most" in this sentence?
The word самый is used right before an adjective to create a superlative, meaning "the most" of that adjective. It always has to match the noun it describes in gender, number, and case, which is why it takes the instrumental plural form самыми to match партнёрами.
