Questions & Answers about Nasz plan obejmuje spotkanie w muzeum i obiad w restauracji.

Why isn’t there a word for “the” before muzeum and restauracja?
Polish has no articles like “a” or “the.” Definiteness comes from context. In w muzeum and w restauracji, you understand “in the museum” or “in the restaurant” just from the situation or previous mention.
What case is used after the preposition w in w muzeum and w restauracji, and why?

After w indicating location, you use the locative case (miejscownik).

  • muzeum is neuter and its locative form stays muzeum.
  • restauracja (feminine) becomes restauracji in the locative.
    Locative answers “where?” (Where is the meeting? In the museum.)
Why do spotkanie and obiad look the same as their base forms? What case are they in?

They’re direct objects of the verb obejmuje, so grammatically they’re in the accusative case.

  • For the neuter noun spotkanie, nominative = accusative.
  • For the masculine inanimate noun obiad, nominative = accusative as well.
    That’s why their forms don’t change, even though they function as objects.
What does the verb obejmuje mean, and what person/tense is it?
obejmuje is the 3rd person singular present tense of obejmować (imperfective). It means “it includes,” “it covers,” or “it encompasses.” Here, Nasz plan obejmuje = “Our plan includes...”
Which syllable is stressed in obejmuje?

Polish stress almost always falls on the penultimate (second-to-last) syllable.
Breakdown: o-bej-MU-je → stress on MU: o-bej-MU-je.

How does nasz agree with plan? Would it ever change form?

nasz is a possessive pronoun that agrees in gender, number, and case with the noun it modifies.

  • plan is masculine singular nominative, so we use nasz.
    If the noun were feminine, like książka, you’d say nasza książka. If plural, you’d use nasze (neuter plural) or nasi/nasze depending on gender.
In English “obiad” can be either lunch or dinner—what does it mean here?
In Polish obiad refers to the main midday meal (what many call “lunch”). If you wanted the evening meal, you’d say kolacja (“supper”).
Could I use a different verb instead of obejmuje? What are some alternatives?

Yes. Common alternatives:
• zawiera + accusative:
Nasz plan zawiera spotkanie w muzeum i obiad w restauracji.
• składa się z + genitive:
Nasz plan składa się ze spotkania w muzeum i obiadu w restauracji.
• zakłada + accusative/infinitive:
Nasz plan zakłada spotkanie w muzeum i obiad w restauracji.
Each verb has its own required case or preposition, so watch for those!
