Questions & Answers about Dyskryminacja w pracy jest problemem.
Why is the word problem written as problemem here?
In Polish, when you use the verb być (to be) to link a subject to another noun (like saying 'A is B'), the second noun must be in the Instrumental case. Because problem is a masculine noun ending in a consonant, it takes the -em suffix.
The translation says 'at work'. Why is the preposition w (in) used here?
While English uses 'at' for work, Polish treats work as a physical place or a state you are inside, so it requires w. It is a fixed phrase: you are always w pracy. Using a preposition like na is reserved for other types of locations, such as na uniwersytecie (at the university).
Why does praca change to pracy?
The preposition w triggers the Locative case when you are talking about where something is happening. For the feminine noun praca (work), the Locative ending replaces the -a with a -y, resulting in w pracy.
