Questions & Answers about Po lekcji córka pokazuje mi swój rysunek, a syn chowa kredki do piórnika.
Why is it po lekcji and not po lekcja?
Because po in the sense of after takes the locative case in Polish.
- basic form: lekcja
- after po: po lekcji
So po lekcji means after the lesson/class.
A few similar examples:
- po pracy = after work
- po obiedzie = after lunch
- po filmie = after the film
Why are córka and syn not preceded by a word like the?
Polish does not have articles like a or the.
So:
- córka can mean the daughter or a daughter
- syn can mean the son or a son
The exact meaning comes from context. If you want to make possession explicit, you can add a possessive:
- moja córka = my daughter
- mój syn = my son
But in this sentence, that is unnecessary because the context already makes it clear.
Why is it mi and not mnie?
