Questions & Answers about Ten wyjątek dotyczy konsumenta.

Why is it ten and not ta or to?

Because wyjątek is a masculine singular noun.

In Polish, demonstratives like this change for gender:

• ten = masculine
• ta = feminine
• to = neuter

So:

• ten wyjątek = this exception
• ta ustawa = this law
• to prawo = this law/right (depending on meaning)

Since wyjątek is masculine, ten is the correct form.

What case is wyjątek in?

It is in the nominative singular.

That is the basic dictionary form of the noun, and here it works as the subject of the sentence:

• Ten wyjątek = the thing being talked about
• dotyczy konsumenta = concerns the consumer

So the structure is basically:

• [subject in nominative] + [verb] + [object/complement required by the verb]

Why is it konsumenta and not konsument?
