Questions & Answers about Radzę wam pojechać na dworzec.
Why do we use wam here instead of wy or was?
The verb radzić (to advise) requires the dative case for the person you are giving advice to. Wam is the plural dative form of wy (you). You can think of it as saying "I give advice to you."
Why is pojechać used instead of jechać?
Pojechać is the perfective (completed action) version of the verb. You are advising them to make one specific, completed trip to the station. If you were giving general advice about a regular habit, you would use the imperfective jechać.
Why does the sentence say na dworzec instead of do dworca?
While do usually means "to", certain public places and open spaces in Polish traditionally pair with the preposition na for destinations. Dworzec (station) is one of these common exceptions. Because it involves motion towards a destination, it takes the accusative case. Since dworzec is a masculine inanimate noun, its accusative form looks exactly the same as its dictionary form.
