Questions & Answers about Ona też Was pozdrawia.
Why is Was capitalized in the middle of the sentence?
In written Polish, such as emails, letters, or direct text messages, pronouns referring to the person you are communicating with are capitalized to show respect. If this were a generic narrative sentence in a novel, it would be written with a lowercase w as was.
Could I change the word order to Ona też pozdrawia Was?
You could, but it sounds slightly less natural here. Polish generally avoids placing short object pronouns like Was, Cię, or go at the very end of a sentence unless you are specifically emphasizing them. Here, placing Was before the verb is the standard, neutral word order.
The translation says "sends her greetings," but isn't pozdrawia just the verb "to greet"?
Literally, yes, it means "she greets you." However, Polish uses the single verb pozdrawiać for the social convention of passing on regards, whereas English speakers naturally say "sends her greetings" or "says hi." The translation gives the most natural English equivalent rather than a stiff, literal one.
Since pozdrawia is an imperfective verb, would we ever use its perfective form pozdrowić in this context?
