Questions & Answers about При успешном сотрудничестве она будет управлять компанией.
Why is при translated as "with" instead of "at" or "by" in this sentence?
In this sentence, при followed by the Prepositional case (успешном сотрудничестве) is used to express a condition or prerequisite. It translates best to "in the event of" or "with" (meaning "if there is"). This is a very common structure for expressing "If X happens..." using a noun phrase instead of a full clause.
Why is компания in the Instrumental case (компанией)? Shouldn't the thing she manages be in the Accusative case?
In Russian, verbs of managing, leading, or controlling, such as управлять (to manage) and руководить (to lead or direct), require the Instrumental case. You can remember this by imagining that she is operating the company like a tool or instrument.
Why use the imperfective future будет управлять here instead of a perfective future verb?
Managing a company is an ongoing, continuous responsibility rather than a one-time completed action. The imperfective future будет управлять emphasizes that she will be in the continuous process of running the company.
The word сотрудничестве is quite long. What is its root?
It is built around the root труд (labor or work). By adding the prefix со- (with or together), we get related words like сотрудник (co-worker or employee) and сотрудничество (cooperation or collaboration). Spotting these roots makes advanced vocabulary much easier to memorize.
