Polish- Misc

Question 1

Where does Polish put the “later” in the following?

“I would like something to drink later”?

Answer 1

I would like LATER something to drink.

Question 2

Hi

Answer 2

cześć

Question 3

Why do these two sentences use different forms of “something?”

Czy pani chciałaby czegoś się napić ?
Chciałabym coś zjeść.

Answer 3

Czegoś/coś are the objects of the following verbs, not of ‘chcieć’.

napić się czegoś - to have a drink (of something); to have some [tea, coffee, beer]; napić się, like all reflexive verbs, cannot take the accusative and in this case requires the genitive case (napić się kawy, piwa, herbaty).

zjeść - to eat ; zjeść is a transitive verb, i.e. it requires the accusative case (zjeść kanapkę, kolację, kawałek chleba).

Question 4

Should I use “jest” for location?

Answer 4

If you are stating the noun, like ulica or plac, use “jest.”.

If you are saying “it”, do not use “jest”

Question 5

For the word “what,” why do you sometimes use “co” and other times “czego?”

Answer 5

In a word, cases:

Nominative & Accusative: Co
Genitive: Czego
Dative: Czemu
Instrumental & Locative: Czym

Question 6

“na-… się” construction

Answer 6

The “na-… się” construction is used to indicate that someone did something as much as he could and now he’s full or tired or cannot do it any more. It can be used with virtually every verb.
