Questions & Answers about Po obiedzie wycieram stół w kuchni.

Why is it po obiedzie and not po obiad?

Because po meaning after requires the locative case in Polish.

The base noun is obiad.
Its locative singular form is obiedzie.

So:

• obiad = lunch / dinner
• po obiedzie = after lunch / after dinner

This is a very common pattern:

• po pracy = after work
• po szkole = after school
• po filmie = after the film

What exactly does obiad mean — lunch or dinner?

It depends on context and culture.

In Polish, obiad is usually the main meal of the day, often eaten in the afternoon. In English, that could be translated as:

• lunch in some contexts
• dinner in others

So the exact English word depends on the situation, but the Polish sentence itself is completely natural.
