Questions & Answers about Ta nuta jest za wysoka dla mojego głosu.

Why is it ta nuta and not ten nuta or to nuta?

Because nuta is a feminine noun in Polish.

Polish demonstratives agree with the gender of the noun:

• ten = masculine
• ta = feminine
• to = neuter

So:

• ta nuta = this note

You can see the same pattern in other examples:

• ta książka = this book
• ten stół = this table
• to okno = this window

Why is it wysoka and not wysoki?

Because adjectives in Polish must agree with the noun they describe in gender, number, and case.

Since nuta is:

• feminine
• singular
• nominative

the adjective also has to be feminine singular nominative:

• wysoka

Compare:

• ten dźwięk jest za wysoki = this sound is too high
• ta nuta jest za wysoka = this note is too high
• to brzmienie jest za wysokie = this tone/sound is too high
