Questions & Answers about Moja temperatura jest w porządku, więc mogę iść do pracy.

Why is it moja temperatura and not mój temperatura or moje temperatura?

In Polish, possessive adjectives agree with the gender, number, and case of the noun they modify.

• temperatura is a feminine noun (it ends in -a and is grammatically feminine).
• The subject is in the nominative singular case here.

The forms for my in nominative singular are:

• mój – masculine
• moja – feminine
• moje – neuter

Because temperatura is feminine, you must say moja temperatura.

Could I add ja and say Ja mogę iść do pracy? Is it wrong to omit the pronoun?

You can say Ja mogę iść do pracy, but it is usually unnecessary.

Polish verbs are conjugated so that the ending already shows the person:

• mogę clearly means I can (1st person singular).

Therefore:

• Mogę iść do pracy is the most natural version.
• Ja mogę iść do pracy is used only when you want to emphasize the subject, for example in contrast:
  • Ja mogę iść do pracy, ale on musi zostać w domu. (I can go to work, but he must stay at home.)
