Questions & Answers about Ta góra jest wyższa niż wszystkie budynki w naszym mieście.

Why is it ta góra and not ten góra or to góra? What exactly does ta mean?

Polish has gendered demonstratives (roughly like this/that):

• ten – masculine
• ta – feminine
• to – neuter

The noun góra (mountain) is feminine, so you must use the feminine form ta.

Ta góra literally means this mountain (or that mountain, depending on context).
Polish does not have a separate word for the, so ta is not a real article like the; it's a demonstrative, used when you specifically want to say this/that mountain rather than just a/the mountain.

Why does góra end in -a? Does that mean it is feminine?

Yes. In Polish, many (not all) nouns ending in -a are feminine.

• góra – feminine, nominative singular
• It agrees with ta (feminine this) and wyższa (feminine higher).

So ta góra is a feminine noun phrase in the nominative case, acting as the subject of the sentence.

Why is it wyższa and not wyższy or wyższe?
