Questions & Answers about Z naszego balkonu widać park i boisko.

What does z mean here? I thought z often meant with.

In this sentence, z means from:

• z naszego balkonu = from our balcony

Polish z can mean different things depending on the case that follows:

• z + genitive = from / out of
• z + instrumental = with

Here it is followed by naszego balkonu, which is genitive, so the meaning is from.

Why is it z naszego balkonu, not z nasz balkon?

Because the preposition z meaning from requires the genitive case.

So:

• nasz balkon = our balcony (dictionary/basic form)
• z naszego balkonu = from our balcony (genitive after z)

Both words change:

• nasz → naszego
• balkon → balkonu

This is very normal in Polish: prepositions often force a particular case.
