Questions & Answers about Bank zmienia prowizję w związku z nową zasadą.

Why is it bank and not something like ten bank or an article like the bank?

Polish does not use articles like a or the.

So Bank zmienia prowizję... can mean The bank is changing the fee/commission... or simply A bank is changing..., depending on context.

You can add words like ten if you want to be more specific:

• Ten bank zmienia prowizję. = This/that bank is changing the fee.

But in many normal sentences, Polish just leaves that information unstated.

Why is the verb zmienia in this form?

Zmienia is the 3rd person singular present tense of zmieniać, which means to change in the sense of be changing / change habitually.

Because the subject is bank (the bank), Polish uses the he/she/it form:

• ja zmieniam = I change
• ty zmieniasz = you change
• on/ona/ono zmienia = he/she/it changes

Since bank is grammatically masculine singular, it takes zmienia.

Why is it zmieniać / zmienia and not a perfective verb?
