Questions & Answers about Cena lodówki była niższa w ofercie, którą wczoraj znalazłem.

Why is lodówki in the genitive case rather than the nominative?

Because in Polish you say cena czego? (“the price of what?”). The noun that follows cena takes the genitive to show possession or relation. So lodówka becomes lodówki in the genitive singular.

Why is the adjective niższa in the feminine singular nominative form?

Adjectives in Polish agree in gender, number, and case with the noun they describe. Cena is a feminine singular noun in the nominative, so the comparative of niski (“low”) becomes niższa to match cena.

Which case does the phrase w ofercie use and why?

The preposition w (“in”) requires the locative case when indicating location or context. Oferta is a feminine noun; its locative singular form is ofercie, hence w ofercie means “in the offer.”

What is którą doing in this sentence, and why is it in the accusative feminine singular?

Którą is a relative pronoun referring back to oferta (which is feminine). It functions as the direct object of znalazłem (“I found”), so it takes the accusative feminine singular form.
