Questions & Answers about Miodarka jest gotowa.

Why does gotowa end in -a?

Because it agrees with miodarka, which is a feminine singular noun.

In Polish, adjectives change their form to match the noun’s:

• gender
• number
• usually also case

Here:

• miodarka = feminine singular
• so gotowy becomes gotowa

Compare:

• miodarka jest gotowa = the honey extractor is ready
• sprzęt jest gotowy = the equipment is ready (sprzęt is masculine)
• urządzenie jest gotowe = the device is ready (urządzenie is neuter)

Is miodarka feminine because the machine is female?

No. In Polish, grammatical gender is a grammar category, not biological sex.

Miodarka is feminine because nouns ending in -a are very often feminine. That does not mean the object is literally female.

This is very common in Polish:

• książka = book → feminine
• lodówka = fridge → feminine
• miodarka = honey extractor → feminine

So the adjective must match the noun’s grammatical gender, not real-world sex.
