Questions & Answers about Wieczorem mówimy o jutrzejszym planie.

Why is it wieczorem and not wieczór?

Both are related to evening, but they have different grammatical forms and functions:

• wieczór is the basic noun (nominative singular): evening.

  • e.g. Ten wieczór jest spokojny. – This evening is calm.

• wieczorem is the instrumental form, and in this context it works like an adverb of time, meaning in the evening / at night (in the evening time).

  • e.g. Wieczorem mówimy… – In the evening we talk…

Polish very often uses the instrumental case of time nouns in this adverb-like way:

• rano / rankiem – in the morning
• popołudniem – in the afternoon
• nocą – at night

So Wieczorem mówimy… is more natural than Wieczór mówimy…, which would be ungrammatical here.

Can I put mówimy at the beginning and say Mówimy wieczorem o jutrzejszym planie?
