Hello, in the first example, shouldn’t it be победи́т and not the infinitive победи́ть? Thanks.

Hi Anita,
You have a good eye for interesting points. 🙂
“Ему не победить” is a special construction. It is used with the infinitive and the pronoun in the Dative case to say that something will not happen.
You can say it differently, but in both cases победить goes as infinitive. Compare:
– Чувствуя, что в споре он победить не сможет…
– Чувствуя, что в споре ему не победить…
Some other examples:
– Им не отобрать нашу свободу!
OR:
– Они не смогут отобрать нашу свободу!
(They will not take our freedom!)
– Тебе меня не обмануть.
OR:
– Ты не сможешь меня обмануть.
(You cannot deceive me.)
