Questions & Answers about Nowa lodówka, którą zamówiliśmy przez internet, przyjedzie w piątek.

Why is there no article like the or a before Nowa lodówka?

Polish has no definite or indefinite articles. Nouns stand alone, and whether something is “the” or “a” is understood from context or other words (like possessives or demonstratives).

Why is którą used instead of która?

Którą is the feminine singular accusative form of the relative pronoun który. Here it refers back to lodówka (a feminine noun) and functions as the direct object of zamówiliśmy (“we ordered”), so it must be in the accusative case.

Why are there commas around którą zamówiliśmy przez internet?

In Polish, subordinate clauses—including relative clauses introduced by który/która…—are set off by commas. The first comma marks the beginning of the clause after the noun it describes, and the second comma marks its end.

What is the difference between przez internet and w internecie? Why is przez used here?

Przez internet means “by means of the Internet” (how something is done). W internecie means “in the Internet” or “on the Internet” (location). Since you’re describing the medium by which you ordered, you use przez + accusative.

Why is the verb przyjedzie used instead of przyjdzie?

Przyjechać means “to arrive/come by transport (vehicle, delivery).” Przyjść means “to come on foot.” Because a fridge is delivered by a courier or truck, you use przyjedzie.

Why is zamówiliśmy perfective, and what does that tell us?

Zamówiliśmy is the past tense of the perfective verb zamówić (“to order once, completed action”). It indicates the ordering is finished. The imperfective zamawialiśmy would imply an ongoing or repeated action, which isn’t intended here.

What case is piątek in w piątek, and why?

It’s the accusative singular of piątek. In Polish, time expressions that answer “when?” (days, dates) usually take the accusative (e.g., w sobotę, w lipcu).

The verb przyjedzie doesn’t show feminine gender—how do we know lodówka is feminine?

In non–past and simple future tenses, Polish verbs do not mark gender. You recognize lodówka is feminine from its ending (-a) and the adjective nowa, which is also in feminine form.
