Questions & Answers about Масштабная интеграция рынков начнётся завтра.
Why is начнётся used here instead of начнёт?
In Russian, verbs for starting and finishing (начать/начаться, закончить/закончиться) have two forms. If a subject is starting a separate object (transitive), you use начнёт. Because the integration is starting on its own (intransitive), we need the reflexive form with the -ся ending: начнётся.
Why is the genitive plural of рынок written as рынков without the о?
The noun рынок (market) contains a fleeting vowel. The last о in the root drops out when you add case endings. So to form the genitive plural, the о falls out, giving us the stem рынк-, to which we add the standard masculine -ов ending to make рынков.
Since this lesson covers в ходе (in the course of), how would I say 'in the course of the integration' using this sentence's vocabulary?
To say 'in the course of the large-scale integration', you would use в ходе followed by the genitive case: в ходе масштабной интеграции. Notice that feminine nouns ending in -ия like интеграция take an -ии ending in the genitive, rather than the usual -ы or -и.
What is the root of масштабная and how else is it used?
It comes from the noun масштаб, meaning scale. In B2 texts, you will often see it used in business, politics, or news contexts, such as в мировом масштабе (on a global scale) or as part of the compound adjective крупномасштабный (large-scale).
