The article deals with ways of translating German infinitive structures in agrarian sublanguage. As the title implies the article describes different problems in translation of German infinitive structures in agrarian sublanguage into Ukrainian language. It gives a detailed analysis of various German infinitive constructions examples taken from selected sundry German professional literature, professional periodic publications and electronic resources. Much attention is given to understanding of German infinitive constructions syntactic descriptions.
As a result of research it was found out, that the most used German infinitive constructions in modern agrarian sublanguage are: Modalverb + Infinitiv, um. zu + Infinitiv, sein + zu + Infinitiv.
It is reported that expediency of application translating transformations during translation of German infinitive constructions into Ukrainian language is a result of divergences between the grammatical systems of the German and Ukrainian languages. The differences in word order both in simple and in difficult sentences; different semantic filling of infinitive constructions; difference in functional descriptions of similar constructions are mentioned. It is specially noted that there is a necessity for taking into account all these divergences for making adequate translation.
It should be emphasized that most researchers meet in opinion, that infinitive constructions can execute in sentences in various functions like subject, addition, determination, but mainly they come forward as a part of predicate.
It is described in short that this investigation was made by using research methods such as descriptive, structural-semantic method, comparatively-comparable analysis, generalization method and elements of statistical method.
As a conclusion, compression is defined as one of the most used methods of translating infinitive structures.
The article can be of interest to linguists, philologists, translators and foreign language teachers.
