Questions & Answers about Ten amortyzator jest nowy.

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

Because amortyzator is a masculine singular noun, and the demonstrative ten has to agree with it in gender and number.

In the nominative singular:

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

So:

• ten amortyzator = correct
• ta amortyzator = incorrect
• to amortyzator = incorrect

What part of speech is ten here?

Ten is a demonstrative adjective/pronoun, meaning this in this sentence.

It works like English this and changes its form depending on the noun:

• ten samochód = this car
• ta książka = this book
