Questions & Answers about Tutaj jest park.
Is there a difference between tutaj and tu?
They both mean exactly the same thing: "here". You can use them interchangeably in almost all everyday situations. Tu is simply a shorter version of tutaj.
Where is the word for "a" in this sentence?
Polish does not have articles like "a", "an", or "the". The word park can mean "a park" or "the park" depending on the context. Here, we translate it as "a park" because we are introducing a new place.
Why doesn't the word park change its ending here?
Because park is the subject of the sentence (it is the thing that "is" here). When a noun is the subject doing the action, it stays in its basic dictionary form, which is called the Nominative case.
Could I change the order and say Park jest tutaj?
Yes, you can! Polish word order is quite flexible. Tutaj jest park focuses slightly more on pointing out what is in this location ("Here is a park"), while Park jest tutaj is better if someone asks you where the park is ("The park is here").
