Questions & Answers about Я ненавижу переезжать, потому что постоянно приходится таскать хрупкие вещи.
Why is the multidirectional verb таскать used here instead of the unidirectional тащить?
Moving houses involves making multiple trips, picking things up, and carrying them back and forth. Because the action of lugging these things doesn't have a single, continuous, one-way trajectory, the multidirectional verb таскать is required. The adverb постоянно (constantly) also reinforces that this is a repeated, scattered action.
Who is doing the action in приходится таскать since there is no pronoun like мне?
Приходится is an impersonal verb meaning "one has to" or "it is necessary." Because there is no logical subject in the dative case (like мне for "I have to" or нам for "we have to"), it acts as a general statement: "one constantly has to lug." The speaker hates moving because of what a person generally has to do during a move.
Why use the imperfective переезжать instead of the perfective переехать?
Verbs expressing strong feelings about an action, like ненавидеть (to hate) or любить (to love), almost always take an imperfective infinitive. You are talking about hating the general process or concept of moving, rather than focusing on completing one specific move.
In the phrase таскать хрупкие вещи, why doesn't the object change its ending for the accusative case?
The word вещи (things) is inanimate. In Russian, plural inanimate nouns take an accusative form that is completely identical to their nominative form. Therefore, хрупкие вещи looks exactly the same here as it would if it were the subject of the sentence.
