Questions & Answers about Po prysznicu suszę włosy suszarką.
Why is it po prysznicu and not po prysznik?
Because po in the sense of after takes the locative case in Polish.
- prysznic = shower
- po prysznicu = after the shower / after showering
So prysznicu is the locative singular form of prysznic.
Why is włosy plural? In English, hair is usually singular.
In Polish, włosy is the normal word for hair on the head, and it is grammatically plural.
- włos = one hair, one strand
- włosy = hair in general
So suszę włosy is the natural way to say I dry my hair.
What case is włosy here?
It is accusative plural, because it is the direct object of suszę (I dry).
The reason it looks the same as the dictionary form is that for many inanimate plural nouns, the accusative and nominative have the same form.
So here:
- nominative: włosy
- accusative: włosy
Same form, different function.
