Questions & Answers about Sprawdź zakres ochrony i wyłączenie odpowiedzialności, zanim zakwestionujesz odmowę wypłaty.
What does sprawdź mean here, and what grammar form is it?
Sprawdź is the imperative form of sprawdzić = to check / verify.
In this sentence it means check.
A few useful points:
- it is addressed to one person
- it is the informal singular form, used with ty
- it comes from the perfective verb sprawdzić, so it suggests checking something as a complete action
So Sprawdź... is basically Check... or Make sure you check...
Why are zakres and wyłączenie unchanged, even though they are the objects of sprawdź?
They are in the accusative case, because they are direct objects of sprawdź.
But in Polish, some nouns look the same in the nominative and accusative:
- zakres is a masculine inanimate noun, so its accusative singular is the same as its nominative singular
- wyłączenie is a neuter noun, and neuter nominative and accusative singular are also the same
So:
- zakres = nominative or accusative
- wyłączenie = nominative or accusative
That is why they look unchanged.
Why do we have and after those nouns?
