Questions & Answers about Mój brat wpadł na pomysł na szybki deser.
What does wpaść na pomysł mean?
wpaść na pomysł literally translates as to fall onto an idea, but idiomatically it means to come up with an idea. It implies a sudden flash of inspiration rather than merely having an idea over time.
Why are there two nas in Mój brat wpadł na pomysł na szybki deser?
The first na is part of the verb phrase wpaść na (to come up with). The second na is the preposition required by pomysł na coś, meaning an idea for something. So you need both: one for the verb, one for the noun complement.
Which case is deser in, and why doesn’t its form change?
After the second na, deser is in the accusative case. Since deser is a masculine inanimate noun, its accusative form is identical to the nominative form, so it remains deser.
Why is szybki used instead of szybko?
szybki is an adjective describing the noun deser (a quick dessert). szybko is an adverb and would modify a verb, not a noun.
