Questions & Answers about Darowizna przyszła wraz z ubraniami.
Why is it przyszła and not przyszedł or przyszło?
Because the subject is darowizna, and darowizna is a feminine singular noun.
In the Polish past tense, the verb agrees with the subject in gender and number:
- masculine singular: przyszedł
- feminine singular: przyszła
- neuter singular: przyszło
- plural: different plural forms depending on gender
So:
- darowizna przyszła = the donation came/arrived
Even though English uses just came, Polish has to show grammatical gender here.
What case is darowizna in?
It is in the nominative singular.
That is the basic dictionary form of the noun, and here it is the subject of the sentence:
- Darowizna = the donation
- przyszła = came / arrived
So the structure is simply:
- Darowizna — subject
- przyszła — verb
- wraz z ubraniami — additional phrase meaning together with the clothes
What exactly does darowizna mean? Is it the same as gift?
