Questions & Answers about Как правильно формулировать нестандартное видение?
Why is there no subject in this sentence, and why use the infinitive формулировать?
In Russian, you can use как + an infinitive to ask for general instructions or advice, meaning 'How should one...' or 'How does one...'. Here, it translates to 'How should one formulate...' and acts as a common impersonal question.
Could we use the perfective verb сформулировать here instead?
Yes, but it changes the nuance. The imperfective формулировать asks about the general process or method ('How does one generally go about formulating...?'). The perfective сформулировать would sound more like asking how to successfully complete the formulation of one specific vision you have in mind right now.
Why use видение for 'vision' here instead of зрение?
Зрение refers to the physical sense of sight or eyesight. Видение (derived from the verb видеть) refers to a mental image, an interpretation, or a broader perspective—like an artist's or a company's 'vision,' which pairs perfectly with the adjective нестандартное (non-standard).
How would we change this sentence to ask about formulating a 'different' or 'alternative' vision using the pronoun иной?
