Questions & Answers about Ta ekspertka ma na tyle duże doświadczenie, że wszyscy jej ufają.
How is the word ekspertka formed, and is it a standard word in Polish?
Ekspertka is the feminine equivalent of ekspert. It is formed by adding the standard feminine suffix -ka. While some feminine professional titles can still spark stylistic debates in Poland, ekspertka is widely accepted, very common, and sounds completely natural in both everyday and professional contexts.
How exactly does the phrase na tyle ... że work in this sentence?
The structure na tyle [adjective], że... translates to "so [adjective]" or "[adjective] enough, that...". Here, na tyle duże doświadczenie, że... means "experience big enough that..." or "so much experience that...". It is a highly useful pattern for expressing a degree of something that leads to a specific result.
Why do we say duże doświadczenie instead of dużo doświadczenia?
In Polish, experience is usually described as having a size rather than a quantity. Therefore, we say duże doświadczenie (literally: big experience) with an adjective, rather than using a quantifier like dużo (a lot) followed by the genitive case. While dużo doświadczenia is sometimes heard, duże doświadczenie is the standard, natural collocation.
Why is the pronoun jej used at the end instead of ją?
The verb ufać (to trust) strictly requires its object to be in the dative case (Celownik). The dative form of ona (she) is jej. If you used the accusative ją, it would sound grammatically incorrect to a Polish speaker.
