Questions & Answers about Każda gmina w tym województwie ma plan przestrzenny.
If we named the province, how would the geographic apposition rule from this lesson apply to województwo?
Unlike cities (miasto) and rivers (rzeka), which pair with a proper noun that copies their case (e.g., w mieście Krakowie), Polish provinces (województwo) are named using adjectives. Therefore, you don't use noun-noun apposition at all. Instead, it's just standard noun-adjective agreement: w województwie mazowieckim (in the Mazovian province).
What is the base form of województwie, and why does the end of the word change so much?
The Nominative (dictionary) form is województwo (province). Because it follows the preposition w (in) indicating a location, it takes the Locative case. For neuter nouns ending in -o, the Locative ending is -e. This vowel change forces the preceding hard consonant -w- to soften into -wi-, resulting in w województwie.
Is plan przestrzenny in the Nominative case here?
No, it is in the Accusative case because it is the direct object of the verb ma (has). It only looks identical to the Nominative because plan is a masculine inanimate noun. For masculine inanimate and neuter nouns, the Accusative form shares the exact same spelling as the Nominative.
