Questions & Answers about Na stadionie wszyscy kibicujemy tej drużynie.
Why is it na stadionie and not w stadionie?
Polish usually says na stadionie for at the stadium / in the stadium. With places like stadion, boisko, or lotnisko, Polish often uses na where English might use in or at.
Here, na stadionie means at the stadium or in the stadium context.
Also, after na in this meaning, stadion takes the locative case:
- stadion → na stadionie
So:
- na stadionie = at/in the stadium
What does wszyscy mean here, and why isn’t it wszystko?
Wszyscy means everyone or all of us / all the people, depending on context.
In this sentence, it refers to people, so Polish uses wszyscy.
Compare:
- wszyscy = everyone / all people
- wszystko = everything
So you say:
- wszyscy kibicujemy = we all support/cheer for not
- wszystko kibicujemy, because that would use the form for things, not people
Why is the verb kibicujemy in the we form?
