Questions & Answers about Ten sąsiad jest zabawny i często zaprasza mnie na krótką imprezę w swoim domu.
What does the word ten signify in the sentence?
Ten is a demonstrative pronoun meaning “this” or “that.” In this context, it specifies which neighbor is being talked about, distinguishing him from others.
How does the adjective zabawny agree with the noun sąsiad?
The adjective zabawny means “funny” and is in the masculine singular form. It agrees with the masculine noun sąsiad (neighbor) in gender, number, and case (nominative), which is typical in Polish adjective–noun agreements.
Why is the adverb często positioned before the verb zaprasza?
Często means “often” and functions as an adverb indicating frequency. Placing it before zaprasza (invites) emphasizes how regularly the neighbor invites the speaker, following the common Polish word order where adverbs describing frequency or manner typically precede the verb.
What role does the reflexive possessive adjective swoim play in the phrase w swoim domu?
Swoim is a reflexive possessive adjective that means “his own” (or “her own”) in this context. It links back to the subject ten sąsiad so that the phrase w swoim domu clearly indicates that the party is held in the neighbor’s own house, not someone else’s.
Why do we use the forms krótką imprezę instead of krótka impreza?
The preposition na in this sentence requires the accusative case when talking about going to an event. Since impreza (party) is a feminine noun, its corresponding adjective krótka must also take the feminine accusative form krótką to agree in gender and case with the noun.
