Questions & Answers about Droga do muzeum jest szeroka.

Why is muzeum unchanged after do? Shouldn't the genitive case change the word?

In Polish, muzeum is a neuter noun ending in -um. Nouns with this ending have the same form in the nominative and genitive singular. Thus, after do (which always requires the genitive), muzeum remains unchanged.

Why do we use do + genitive to express “to” or “towards”? How does that compare to English?

Polish uses different prepositions and cases than English. To express movement or direction towards something, Polish uses the preposition do, which always requires the genitive case. In English, we simply use to before a noun, but English doesn’t have case endings, so the noun form doesn’t change.
Examples of other Polish preposition + case combinations:

• na
  • accusative = “onto”
• w
  • accusative = “into”
• z
  • instrumental = “with”

Why does the adjective szeroka end in -a instead of -e or -y?
