Questions & Answers about Po chorobie już nie mam gorączki.

Why is chorobie spelled that way? What case is it?

Chorobie is the locative singular of choroba (illness, disease).

It appears in the locative because the preposition po takes the locative when it means after:

• po chorobie = after the illness / after being ill
• po pracy = after work
• po obiedzie = after lunch

So this is a very common pattern:

• po + locative

What exactly does po chorobie mean here?

Here po chorobie means after the illness, or more naturally in English, after being sick / once I recovered from the illness.

It usually refers to the period following an illness, not necessarily a very formal medical disease. In everyday speech, choroba can simply mean being ill.

So:

• Po chorobie już nie mam gorączki = After the illness, I no longer have a fever
