Questions & Answers about Ten pakiet premium jest równie atrakcyjny jak tamten.
Could I use tak samo instead of równie in this sentence?
Yes, you could say tak samo atrakcyjny jak. Both mean 'as attractive as', but równie (equally) sounds slightly more formal and elegant. You will often see równie paired directly with adjectives, whereas tak samo is more versatile and frequently used to compare verbs.
The lesson mentions we can use co instead of jak. Would równie atrakcyjny co tamten be correct here?
Yes, it is completely natural and correct! In modern Polish, równie ... jak and równie ... co are essentially interchangeable. While traditional grammar sometimes prefers jak when comparing adjectives, everyday Polish uses both freely.
Why doesn't the word premium have a masculine adjective ending to match pakiet?
Because premium is a foreign loanword, it is completely indeclinable in Polish. It acts as an adjective here but will never change its form, regardless of the case, gender, or number of the noun it modifies.
Why is the last word tamten and not in another case like tamtego?
When comparing two things with jak or co, both items must be in the same grammatical case. Since the first item being compared (Ten pakiet) is the subject of the sentence and is in the Nominative case, the second item (tamten) must also be in the Nominative.
