Questions & Answers about Ten obraz pasuje do tego pokoju.

What does pasuje do mean in this sentence?

Here pasuje do means something like matches, goes with, or fits well with.

So Ten obraz pasuje do tego pokoju means that the painting looks right in that room stylistically, visually, or generally.

A useful thing to remember is:

• pasować do + genitive = to match / go with something
• pasować komuś = to suit someone

For example:

• Ta sofa pasuje do salonu. = This sofa matches the living room.
• Ta sukienka ci pasuje. = This dress suits you.

Why is do used here?

Because the Polish verb pasować often combines with do when you say that one thing matches another thing.

So the pattern is:

pasować do + noun in the genitive case

That is exactly what happens here:

• pasuje
• do tego pokoju

You cannot normally just say pasuje tego pokoju. The preposition do is part of the structure.

Why is it tego pokoju instead of ten pokój?
