Questions & Answers about Czasem chodzimy do teatru.
Why use chodzimy here instead of idziemy?
Both verbs translate to we go, but Polish has two different types of verbs of motion. Idziemy is used for a specific, one-way trip happening right now. Because this sentence includes czasem (sometimes), it describes a repeated habit or round trip. For habits and general movement, you must use chodzimy.
Is there a difference between czasem and czasami?
No, they mean exactly the same thing. Czasem is simply a shorter version of czasami. You will hear native Polish speakers use them interchangeably in sentences like this.
Why is it do teatru instead of just do teatr?
The preposition do (meaning to or into) always requires the following noun to take the Genitive case. For many masculine inanimate nouns like teatr, the Genitive ending is -u, which changes the word to teatru.
