Questions & Answers about Ввиду засухи лесничество установило строгий запрет.
Why is ввиду written as a single word here, and how does it differ from из-за?
As a formal preposition meaning "due to" or "in view of", ввиду is always written as one word. If it were written as two words (в виду), it would be a noun meaning "in sight" (as seen in the common phrase иметь в виду - to keep in mind). Compared to the everyday preposition из-за (because of), ввиду is much more formal and is typically used in official, legal, or journalistic contexts.
What case is засухи in, and what triggers it?
It is in the Genitive case. The formal preposition of cause ввиду strictly requires the Genitive case for the noun that follows it. The Nominative form of this word is засуха (drought).
Is there a familiar root in the word засухи?
Yes, the root is сух-, which you probably recognize from the B1 adjective сухой (dry). A засуха is quite literally a period of extreme dryness. Recognizing these root connections makes formal vocabulary much easier to absorb!
Why does the past tense verb установило end in -о?
The verb must agree in gender with the subject of the sentence, which is лесничество (forestry district). Because лесничество is a neuter noun (ending in -о), the past tense verb takes the matching neuter ending -о.
Are there other verbs commonly used with запрет instead of установило?
Yes! While установить запрет (to establish a ban) is standard in official Russian, you will also frequently encounter the collocations ввести запрет (to introduce a ban) and наложить запрет (to impose a ban).
