Questions & Answers about Myślę, że zatrudniamy dobrych ekspertów.
Why do we use dobrych ekspertów here instead of the standard plural dobrzy eksperci?
Because they are the direct object of the verb zatrudniamy (we employ), so they must be in the accusative case. For masculine personal (virile) nouns and adjectives in the plural, the accusative case borrows its forms from the genitive case. That is why we use dobrych and ekspertów.
Is -ów the standard accusative plural ending for all masculine nouns?
No, it only applies to masculine personal nouns (like ekspert, lekarz, or brat) because they copy their accusative plural from the genitive plural. For masculine inanimate objects (like telefon) or animals (like pies), the accusative plural looks exactly like the nominative plural (e.g., widzę telefony, lubię psy).
Why is there a comma before że?
In English, we often skip the word that (as in 'I think we employ...') and we do not use a comma before it. In Polish, że is required here, and the punctuation rules say you must always put a comma before it when it connects two parts of a sentence.
What is the dictionary form of zatrudniamy?
The infinitive is zatrudniać (to employ or to hire). It is a standard verb that takes the -am / -asz endings in the present tense. For we (the first person plural), we add -amy to get zatrudniamy.
