Questions & Answers about Projekt umowy jest gotowy, ale go nie dopracowaliśmy.
How does the prefix do- change the meaning of the verb in dopracowaliśmy?
The base verb pracować means to work. Adding the prefix do- creates dopracować, a perfective verb that marks bringing the work to its final, perfected state. Instead of just working on it, it specifically means refining it, polishing it, or putting the finishing touches on it.
Why is projekt translated as draft here instead of project?
While projekt can mean a general project, in Polish business, legal, and technical contexts it very frequently means a draft, design, or blueprint. Because of this, projekt umowy is the standard way to say a draft of a contract.
Why is the pronoun go placed before nie dopracowaliśmy rather than after it?
Short pronouns like go are clitics that like to lean on other words, and they usually avoid the very end of a sentence if possible. Placing go right after the conjunction ale is its most natural position, keeping it tucked safely inside the clause rather than trailing at the end.
Why do we use go to refer to a draft, rather than a neuter pronoun?
The word projekt is a masculine inanimate noun. In Polish, the unstressed accusative pronoun for all masculine nouns—whether referring to a person, an animal, or an inanimate object like a document—is always go.
