Questions & Answers about Вам придётся делегировать эту работу в кратчайший срок.
The lesson focuses on using как можно with a comparative. Why doesn't this sentence use that structure?
This sentence uses a formal alternative: the superlative adjective кратчайший in the set phrase в кратчайший срок (in the shortest time). If you wanted to use the lesson's structure, you could replace this phrase with как можно скорее or как можно быстрее to mean exactly the same thing: as soon as possible.
Why use the dative construction Вам придётся instead of Вы должны будете for "You will have to"?
While both express obligation, придётся paired with the dative case (Вам) implies that external circumstances are forcing the action. It translates closer to "circumstances will dictate that you..." In contrast, Вы должны будете implies a direct command, rule, or a personal moral duty.
How is кратчайший formed from the basic adjective короткий (short)?
It is formed using the superlative suffix -айший (a variant of -ейший). The root of the word undergoes a change where the final к drops out and the т mutates to ч, resulting in кратч- + -айший. This suffix is used to express "the absolute shortest" or "extremely short."
Is the verb делегировать perfective or imperfective in this sentence?
