Questions & Answers about Z mojego punktu widzenia to nie jest problem.
Why is widzenia used here instead of a regular noun for "view"?
Widzenia is the genitive (possessive) form of the verbal noun widzenie (the act of seeing). So the set phrase punkt widzenia literally translates to "point of seeing." Polish frequently uses verbal nouns to express concepts that English handles with regular nouns.
Why does the preposition z take the genitive case (mojego punktu) in this sentence?
When the preposition z means "from" or "out of," it always requires the genitive case. Because you are looking from a figurative location (your point of view), mój punkt changes to its genitive form, mojego punktu.
Doesn't the word nie usually force the noun into the genitive case? Why is it problem and not problemu?
The rule that "negation takes the genitive" only applies to direct objects (for example, Mam problem becomes Nie mam problemu). The verb być (to be) connects a subject to a description rather than taking a direct object, so negating it does not trigger this genitive rule.
Why is problem in the nominative case? Shouldn't nouns following jest be in the instrumental case?
