Questions & Answers about Super! Wygraliśmy mecz!
Why use wygraliśmy instead of just graliśmy?
Grać is an imperfective verb meaning to play. Adding the prefix wy- makes it wygrać, a perfective verb meaning to win. It shows the successful completion of the game.
Does the ending of wygraliśmy tell us who is speaking?
Yes, the -liśmy ending shows that the 'we' group includes at least one male (the masculine personal form). If the group was all female, it would be wygrałyśmy.
Mecz is the direct object here. Why doesn't it have a special accusative ending like -a?
Because mecz is a masculine inanimate noun. For masculine inanimate nouns, the accusative case looks exactly the same as the basic dictionary form (nominative case), so the word does not change.
Is the word super used exactly like it is in English?
Yes, it is a very popular borrowing. In Polish, it can be used as an exclamation like here, or as an adjective. The best part for learners is that it is indeclinable, meaning it never changes its ending for case, gender, or number!
