Questions & Answers about Czy masz jeszcze swój stary plecak szkolny?
How is the adjective szkolny formed from the noun szkoła?
Why is stary placed before the noun, but szkolny is placed after it?
This is a great example of Polish adjective placement rules. Stary (old) is a descriptive adjective that tells you a quality, so it goes before the noun. Szkolny (school) is a relational adjective that categorizes the noun into a specific type (a school backpack, not a hiking backpack). Classifying adjectives almost always go after the noun.
Could I say twój instead of swój here?
Does jeszcze mean still, yet, or more in this sentence?
