Questions & Answers about Dlaczego zawsze wybierasz ambitnych ekspertów?
Why do ambitnych and ekspertów look like they are in the genitive case?
This sentence uses the accusative case because the experts are the direct object of the verb wybierać (to choose). However, for virile nouns (groups containing at least one man), the accusative plural shares the exact same endings as the genitive plural. That is why we use the genitive-style -ych for the adjective and -ów for the noun.
What is the dictionary (nominative) form of ambitnych ekspertów?
The singular form is ambitny ekspert. If they were the subject of a sentence in the plural, it would be ambitni eksperci. The ending changes in this sentence because they are receiving the action, not doing it.
Where is the word for you in this sentence?
Polish usually drops subject pronouns like ty (you) because the verb ending already makes it clear. The -sz at the end of wybierasz tells us exactly who is doing the choosing. You would only add ty if you wanted to stress who is making the choice.
Can I use this same ending rule for a group of female experts?
No. The rule where the accusative plural matches the genitive plural only applies to virile nouns (men, or mixed groups). If you were choosing a group of exclusively female experts, the accusative plural would match the nominative plural instead: Wybierasz ambitne ekspertki.
