Questions & Answers about Dlaczego tyle pracujesz?

What does each word in Dlaczego tyle pracujesz? mean?

• Dlaczego = why
• tyle = so much / this much / that much
• pracujesz = you work / are working

So the sentence is literally Why so much do-you-work?, which natural English turns into Why do you work so much?

Why is there no word for do in this question?

Polish does not use a helper verb like English do in questions such as Why do you work...?

In Polish, the verb itself is enough:

• pracujesz = you work / you are working
• Dlaczego pracujesz? = Why do you work? / Why are you working?

English needs do for this kind of question, but Polish does not.

Why is pracujesz enough to mean you work? Where is you?
