Questions & Answers about Приложение синхронизирует данные как на телефоне, так и на этом новом устройстве.
How does the double conjunction как ..., так и ... work in this sentence?
It translates to 'both ... and ...' and connects two equal parts of the sentence. Notice that the preposition на is repeated before both connected items: как на телефоне, так и на ... устройстве. Unlike in English, where you can say 'on both the phone and the device', Russian requires you to repeat the preposition after both halves of this conjunction.
Is the verb синхронизирует perfective or imperfective?
The infinitive синхронизировать is a bi-aspectual verb, meaning the same word can function as either perfective or imperfective depending on the context. Here, it describes a regular or ongoing action ('synchronizes'), so it acts as an imperfective verb. Also notice it follows the standard pattern for verbs ending in -овать, shifting to -ует in the present tense.
What is the grammatical form of данные (data)?
данные is a passive participle that now functions entirely as a plural noun (a substantive). Because of its origin, it declines exactly like a plural adjective. In this sentence, it is the direct object, so it takes the accusative case. Since 'data' is inanimate, its accusative form looks identical to the nominative plural.
Why do the words этом новом end in -ом?
