Questions & Answers about Skoro to słuszny argument, nie możemy go wykluczyć.
What is the difference between using skoro and ponieważ in this sentence?
While ponieważ simply states a cause (because), skoro (since / seeing as) is used for logical inference. You use skoro when the first part of the sentence is an already established or agreed-upon fact, and you are pointing out the unavoidable logical conclusion that follows.
Does argument in Polish also mean a verbal fight or disagreement?
No, it is a false friend. In Polish, an argument only refers to a logical point or reason used to support or oppose an idea. If you want to talk about an angry verbal disagreement, you would use a word like kłótnia.
Why is the verb jest (is) missing from the first half of the sentence?
When using the pronoun to (this/it) followed by a noun phrase in the nominative case to identify something, Polish speakers often drop the verb jest. Saying Skoro to jest słuszny argument is also completely correct, but omitting it is very natural and common.
Why do we use the pronoun go (it) here if argument is an inanimate object?
The verb wykluczyć (to exclude) requires the accusative case. Even though masculine inanimate nouns don't change their endings in the accusative (you would still say argument), the accusative pronoun for all masculine nouns, whether they are people, animals, or objects, is always go.
