Questions & Answers about Gospodyni liczy na dobrą pogodę i cieszy się na ten rejs.
The lesson focuses on "cieszyć się na". What is the difference between "cieszyć się na ten rejs" and "cieszyć się z tego rejsu"?
The preposition changes the time focus of the emotion. Cieszyć się na followed by the Accusative case means to look forward to something in the future. If you used z plus the Genitive (cieszyć się z tego rejsu), it would mean she is currently enjoying or simply happy about a cruise that is happening right now or has already happened.
Both "liczy na" and "cieszy się na" use the preposition "na". Do they take the same grammatical case here?
Yes, they both require the Accusative case for the thing being anticipated or counted on. This sentence neatly pairs two different verbs that share the exact same government: na plus the Accusative.
If "ten rejs" is in the Accusative case, why doesn't it have a special ending like "dobrą pogodę"?
The word rejs (cruise) is a masculine inanimate noun. For masculine inanimate nouns, the Accusative case form is completely identical to the Nominative (dictionary) form. So ten rejs doesn't change its spelling, whereas the feminine phrase dobra pogoda must change to dobrą pogodę.
Does the word "gospodyni" only mean "hostess" like at a party?
It is much broader than just a party hostess. Gospodyni is the standard word for a female host, a landlady, a housekeeper, or a female head of a household. If a woman is running the event, owns the property, or manages the household, she is the gospodyni.
