Questions & Answers about Z naszego balkonu mamy ładny widok na park i boisko.

Why is it „z naszego balkonu” and not „nasz balkon”? What case is this?

The phrase „z naszego balkonu” is in the genitive case.
The preposition „z” meaning “from” (a place) normally requires the genitive.

• nasz balkon – nominative (basic dictionary form)
• z naszego balkonu – genitive after z

So:

• nasz → naszego (genitive singular, masculine)
• balkon → balkonu (genitive singular, masculine inanimate)

In Polish, many prepositions always force a particular case; „z” (from) is one of them and usually takes genitive.

I’ve seen „z balkonu” and „z balkona”. Which is correct here?

In standard modern Polish, „z balkonu” is preferred and considered more correct.
„Balkon” is a masculine inanimate noun whose regular genitive singular ending is -u:

• balkon → balkonu

The form „z balkona” also exists in colloquial speech and some dialects, and many native speakers do say it, but if you want textbook‑correct Polish, use „z balkonu”.

Why is it „z” (from) and not „od” for “from our balcony”?
