Meaning
It needs workable arrangements for both sides.
Word for word: It needs practicable regulations for both sides.
A statement saying that practical, workable rules or arrangements are needed that serve both parties — typical of negotiation or policy discussion.
The sentence uses the impersonal verb brauchen with es as subject and a plural noun phrase as direct object. Note: as written it contains an agreement error — with es the verb must be third person singular braucht, not brauche. The correct form is 'Es braucht "praktikable Regelungen" für beide Seiten.'
Rules at work(4)
-
Es brauche
The finite verb must agree with its subject es (3rd person singular), so brauche is wrong and braucht is required.
The finite verb takes an ending that matches its subject in person and number. The endings for regular verbs in the present are e, st, t, en, t, en.
Does this rule belong on this sentence? -
praktikable Regelungen
The direct object of brauchen stands in the accusative; the adjective takes a strong ending because there is no determiner.
The accusative marks the direct object: the thing the action is done to. Only the masculine changes visibly, from der to den and from ein to einen, which is why the masculine is where accusative errors show.
Does this rule belong on this sentence? -
für beide Seiten
Für always governs the accusative, so beide Seiten appears in accusative plural.
Durch, für, gegen, ohne and um always take the accusative, whatever they mean and whatever follows them.
Does this rule belong on this sentence? -
praktikable Regelungen
With no article before the noun, the attributive adjective takes the strong ending -e marking accusative plural.
With no article in front of it the adjective has to carry the case marking itself, so it takes the endings the definite article would have had, with the exception of the masculine and neuter genitive singular.
