Questions & Answers about Furtka do ogrodu jest przy garażu.

What does furtka mean exactly? Is it the same as brama?

Furtka means a small gate, usually one for people to walk through. It is not the same as brama, which usually means a large gate or main gate, often big enough for cars.

So in this sentence, furtka do ogrodu is something like the little gate leading to the garden.

Why is it do ogrodu and not do ogród?

Because the preposition do requires the genitive case in Polish.

• basic form: ogród = garden
• genitive form: ogrodu

So:

• do ogrodu = to the garden / into the garden / leading to the garden

This is a very common pattern:

• do domu = to the house
• do szkoły = to school
• do sklepu = to the shop

Does do ogrodu here mean movement, like someone is going to the garden?
