Questions & Answers about Na boisku rzucamy piłkę coraz dalej i wszyscy się śmiejemy.

Why is it na boisku and not w boisku or just boisko?

Polish uses different prepositions for different kinds of locations:

• na
  • locative (na boisku) = on / at the sports field / pitch
• w
  • locative (w boisku) would literally mean in the inside of the field, which is not natural here.
• You cannot use bare boisko for location; you need a preposition to express where something happens.

With places like boisko (field, court, playground, stage, etc.), Polish normally uses na to say that something happens there:

• na boisku – on/at the field
• na scenie – on (the) stage
• na stadionie – at the stadium
