Questions & Answers about Ta bajka jest spokojna, więc po niej maluch szybciej zasypia.

Why is it ta bajka?

Because bajka is a feminine singular noun in Polish. The demonstrative ta means this and must agree with the noun’s gender, number, and case.

• ten = this (masculine)
• ta = this (feminine)
• to = this (neuter)

So:

• ta bajka = this story / this fairy tale

Why is it spokojna and not spokojny or spokojne?

The adjective has to agree with bajka.

Since bajka is feminine singular, the adjective also takes the feminine singular form:

• spokojny = masculine
• spokojna = feminine
• spokojne = neuter

So:

• Ta bajka jest spokojna = This story is calm/gentle/soothing

What exactly does spokojna mean here?

Literally, spokojna means calm, peaceful, or quiet. In this sentence, it probably means the story has a gentle, soothing effect rather than being exciting or intense.

The best choice depends on context.
