Questions & Answers about Po herbacie z mlekiem poczuję się lepiej.

Why is it po herbacie, not po herbata?

Because po meaning after normally requires the locative case in Polish.

• herbata = tea
• po herbacie = after tea

So herbacie is the locative singular form of herbata.

What exactly does po mean here?

Here po means after in a time-related sense: after having tea / once I’ve had tea.

So Po herbacie z mlekiem means something like:

• After tea with milk
• After having tea with milk
• Once I’ve had tea with milk

It does not mean because of tea with milk. The main idea is timing: first the tea, then feeling better.
