Learn Hardcore Polish: Herbata też smakuje dobrze.

Też means "also" or "too." In this context, it indicates that the tea also tastes good, implying there's something else mentioned before that tastes good, and we’re adding tea to that list.

Why is the verb smakuje used rather than smakują?

Herbata is singular, so we need the third-person singular present tense form of the verb smakować, which is smakuje. If the subject were plural (for instance, "Herbaty"), we would say smakują.

What is the difference between dobrze and dobry?

Dobry is an adjective meaning "good" and is used to describe nouns (e.g., dobry dzień – "a good day"). Dobrze is an adverb meaning "well" and is used to describe verbs or how something is done (e.g., smakuje dobrze – "it tastes good/well").

Can I change the word order to "Też herbata smakuje dobrze"?

Yes, Polish word order is flexible, and you could say "Też herbata smakuje dobrze." However, the typical and more natural-sounding word order would be "Herbata też smakuje dobrze." The difference is in emphasis—putting też after herbata emphasizes the transition or addition to a previous statement.
