Questions & Answers about Należność jest wyższa, odkąd wzrosła stawka tej taryfy.
What does należność mean here?
Here należność means something like the amount due, the payable amount, or the charge.
It is a fairly formal word. In everyday speech, people might more often say:
- opłata = fee / charge
- rachunek = bill
- kwota do zapłaty = amount to pay
So this sentence sounds a bit official, administrative, or billing-related.
Why is it wyższa?
Because wyższa agrees with należność, which is:
- feminine
- singular
The adjective has to match the noun, so:
Also, wyższa is the comparative form of wysoka / wysoki, so it means higher.
Polish, like English, often uses higher/lower for amounts, prices, fees, and charges.
Why is it jest wyższa and not just wyższa?
