Questions & Answers about Wydobycie w tym regionie jest drogie.
This lesson is about adjectives that take specific prepositions. Is w tym regionie triggered by the adjective drogie?
No, this is just a standard location phrase using w + Locative. It sets the scene for the noun wydobycie, rather than being governed by the adjective drogie. Unlike adjectives such as bogaty w (rich in), drogi does not mandate a specific preposition here.
Why do we use the adjective drogie instead of the adverb drogo?
Because wydobycie (extraction) is a specific noun acting as the subject, so we need an adjective that agrees with it in gender, number, and case (neuter, singular, Nominative: drogie). You would only use the adverb drogo in a subjectless sentence, such as: W tym regionie jest drogo (It is expensive in this region).
What kind of noun is wydobycie and how is it formed?
It is a verbal noun derived from the perfective verb wydobyć (to extract, to mine). These nouns describe the action itself, always end in -nie or -cie, and are grammatically neuter.
Why does the word region change to regionie?
The preposition w meaning 'in' (for location) requires the Locative case. For hard-stem masculine inanimate nouns like region, the Locative ending is -e. This ending also softens the preceding consonant (from n to ni), resulting in regionie.
