Questions & Answers about Ta taryfa oferuje tyle samo transferu, ile tamta.
Why is the word for "transfer" in the genitive case (transferu) instead of the accusative?
The phrase tyle samo acts as a quantifier here, meaning "the same amount of". In Polish, quantifiers require the noun that follows them to be in the genitive case. Even though oferuje normally takes an accusative object, the quantifier overrides it, so we use the genitive transferu.
The lesson mentions both ile and co. Could we say "co tamta" instead of "ile tamta" here?
Yes! In modern Polish, co is frequently used as a colloquial alternative to ile in these proportional comparisons. Saying Ta taryfa oferuje tyle samo transferu, co tamta is completely natural and very common in everyday speech, whereas ile is just a bit more standard or formal.
Why does the sentence just end with tamta?
Just like in English where we say "that one" to avoid repeating a noun, Polish demonstrative pronouns like tamta can stand alone. Because tamta is in the feminine singular form, it perfectly points back to the feminine noun taryfa mentioned earlier.
Is transfer the standard word for internet data?
Yes, when discussing mobile phone plans (taryfy), Polish often uses the loanword transfer or transfer danych to refer to a data allowance. You will also hear people simply use the word internet in the genitive in exactly the same way: tyle samo internetu.
