Questions & Answers about Nasz księgowy sprawdza umowę i każdy warunek projektu.
Why is umowę ending in -ę?
Because umowa is a feminine noun and in the accusative singular (the direct object of sprawdza) it takes -ę. So umowa → umowę.
Why does każdy warunek remain unchanged as an object?
Warunek is a masculine inanimate noun. Its accusative singular form is identical to the nominative, so każdy warunek stays the same when used as a direct object.
Why is projektu in the genitive case?
It shows a possessive or “of” relationship: warunek (czego?) projektu – “a condition of the project.” In Polish, you use the genitive to express “of + noun.”
Why are there no articles like the or a before umowa and warunek?
Polish does not have articles. Definiteness is understood from context or added with words like demonstratives (e.g. ta umowa for “this contract”) or possessives (e.g. nasza umowa for “our contract”).
What’s the difference between każdy warunek projektu and wszystkie warunki projektu?
każdy warunek means “each individual condition,” highlighting them one by one. wszystkie warunki means “all the conditions” as a group.
How do you pronounce księgowy, and where is the stress?
It’s pronounced [kɕɛŋˈɡɔvɨ], with the stress on the second syllable: księ-GO-wy.
Could we say nasza księgowa instead of nasz księgowy?
Yes. nasz is the masculine singular form of “our.” For a female accountant you’d say nasza księgowa, and for plural nasi księgowi.
What aspect does the verb sprawdza have, and why is it used here?
sprawdza is the imperfective present tense, indicating an ongoing or habitual action (“checks” or “is checking”). The perfective form sprawdzi would imply a single, completed check (“will check” or “has checked”).
Can we replace i with oraz, and what’s the nuance?
Yes. oraz is a more formal or written equivalent of i (“and”), often used in official or business contexts.
