Questions & Answers about Moja rodzina zawsze gotuje obiad w kuchni.
What does "moja rodzina" mean and why is it treated as singular in Polish?
It means "my family". Even though it refers to multiple people, "rodzina" is grammatically a singular (feminine) noun in Polish. This is why it requires a verb form in the singular.
How is the verb "gotuje" conjugated and why is it in the 3rd person singular form?
"Gotuje" is the 3rd person singular form of the verb "gotować" in the present tense. Since the subject "moja rodzina" is grammatically singular, the verb must agree with it by using the singular form.
What does the adverb "zawsze" mean, and is its placement in the sentence typical?
"Zawsze" means "always". In Polish, adverbs indicating frequency like "zawsze" are often placed before the verb to emphasize that the action occurs consistently, which is a common and natural word order in Polish sentences.
What does "obiad" refer to in this context?
"Obiad" usually denotes the main meal of the day. Although it can be translated as either "lunch" or "dinner" depending on cultural context, in this sentence it refers to the primary meal that the family cooks.
What is the grammatical function of the phrase "w kuchni"?
The phrase "w kuchni" means "in the kitchen". It consists of the preposition "w" (meaning "in") followed by "kuchni", which is the locative case form of "kuchnia". This indicates the location where the cooking takes place.
Why is the word order in this sentence (subject, adverb, verb, object, location) acceptable in Polish?
Polish allows for flexible word order because of its rich case system, which clearly marks the roles of words in a sentence. Although a subject–verb–object structure is common, placing the adverb "zawsze" before the verb helps emphasize the frequency of the action, and the overall sentence remains clear due to the grammatical markers.
