Questions & Answers about Pod koniec semestru będziemy mieć więcej rozmów, a mniej pisania.
What does pod koniec mean here?
Pod koniec means towards the end of or near the end of.
So pod koniec semestru means towards the end of the semester.
This is a fixed expression, and it is very common in Polish:
- pod koniec dnia = towards the end of the day
- pod koniec roku = towards the end of the year
It is a little different from:
- na koniec = at the end / finally
- w końcu = finally / eventually
Why is it semestru and not semestr?
Because pod koniec requires the genitive case.
The base form is semestr, but after pod koniec it changes to semestru.
So:
- semestr = nominative
- pod koniec semestru = genitive after pod koniec
This is something you usually just learn as part of the expression pod koniec + genitive.
