Questions & Answers about Z powodu choroby ona jeszcze pracuje z domu.

Do I need the pronoun ona here, or can I drop it?

You can drop it. Polish usually omits subject pronouns because the verb ending shows person and number. Use ona to emphasize contrast or to make the gender explicit.

• Natural: Z powodu choroby jeszcze pracuje z domu.
• With emphasis/contrast: Z powodu choroby ona jeszcze pracuje z domu (e.g., “she still does, others don’t”).

Why is it choroby and not choroba?

Because z powodu (“because of”) takes the genitive case. Choroba (illness) is nominative; its genitive singular is choroby. So: z powodu choroby = “because of (an) illness.”

What case is domu in z domu, and why?

It’s genitive singular. The preposition z meaning “from/out of” takes the genitive: z domu (“from home/house”). Contrast: z meaning “with” takes the instrumental: z kolegą (“with a colleague”).

Why z domu (“from home”) and not w domu (“at home”)? Are both okay?
