Questions & Answers about Minimalistyczna garderoba jest bardzo praktyczna, szczególnie w podróży.
Could I use zwłaszcza instead of szczególnie in this sentence?
Yes, they are almost completely interchangeable here. Both szczególnie and zwłaszcza are used to single out a specific situation where a statement is especially true. If you wanted to say it is practical 'above all' when traveling, you would use the focus particle przede wszystkim, which ranks the situation as the absolute most important.
Why is praktyczna in the Nominative case? Doesn't the verb być require the Instrumental case?
The verb być only requires the Instrumental case when you are linking a subject to a noun. Because praktyczna is an adjective describing the subject, it stays in the Nominative case to agree with the feminine noun garderoba.
Why does podróż change to podróży after the preposition w?
The preposition w here refers to being in a state or location, which requires the Locative case. Podróż is a feminine noun that ends in a soft consonant. These types of feminine nouns take an -i or -y ending in the Locative case, unlike typical feminine nouns ending in -a which usually take an -e.
