Questions & Answers about Musimy brać pod uwagę pogląd mniejszości.
Why does the phrase 'take into account' use the word uwagę?
The phrase brać pod uwagę literally translates to 'to take under attention.' The base noun is uwaga (attention). It changes to uwagę because the preposition pod triggers the accusative case in this idiom, acting like a metaphorical movement or placement.
Is pogląd in the nominative case here?
It looks like it, but it is actually in the accusative case because it is the direct object of the verb brać (to take). Because pogląd (view or opinion) is a masculine inanimate noun, its accusative form is exactly the same as its dictionary form.
Why does mniejszość (minority) change to mniejszości?
It is in the genitive case to show possession, meaning 'of the minority.' The word mniejszość is a feminine noun that ends in a consonant. For this group of feminine nouns, the genitive case ending is -i.
Can I split the phrase and say Musimy brać pogląd mniejszości pod uwagę?
Grammatically yes, but it is much better to keep the idiom brać pod uwagę together. Polish word order is flexible, but splitting this specific fixed phrase sounds less natural than putting the direct object at the very end.
