Questions & Answers about Zrobię ten przelew bankowy w urzędzie pocztowym.
How are the adjectives bankowy and pocztowy formed from their nouns?
Both are relational adjectives created by adding the suffix -owy. From bank (bank), we get bankowy (related to a bank). For poczta (post/mail), we drop the feminine ending -a and add the suffix to get pocztowy (postal).
Why do we say przelew bankowy instead of putting the adjective first, as in English?
In Polish, relational adjectives that classify what type of thing a noun is (like a bank transfer or a post office) usually go after the noun. Demonstrative pronouns like ten (this) and general descriptive adjectives go before the noun, which is why the full phrase is ten przelew bankowy.
Why does the adjective pocztowy end in -ym here?
The phrase w urzędzie pocztowym (at the post office) answers the question "where?" and uses the preposition w, which requires the Locative case. The masculine adjective pocztowy takes the Locative ending -ym to match its noun.
Why does the word for office (urząd) change so much to become urzędzie?
