Questions & Answers about Dyskutujemy o ważnych tematach.
Why are we using the endings in ważnych tematach?
The preposition o (meaning "about") requires the Locative case. Because we are talking about plural "topics," we need the Locative plural. The adjective ważny (important) takes the plural ending -ych, and the noun temat (topic) takes the plural ending -ach.
Does the Locative plural noun ending -ach change if the noun is feminine or neuter instead of masculine?
No, and that makes this case very easy to learn! The Locative plural ending for almost all nouns is -ach, regardless of their gender. So the masculine noun temat becomes tematach, just as the feminine noun kobieta would become kobietach and the neuter noun okno would become oknach.
Are the Locative plural adjective endings also the same for all genders?
Yes! In the Locative plural, adjectives use the same endings for all genders. You will choose between -ych and -ich based on the final consonant of the adjective's stem. Because ważny ends in a hard consonant, it takes the -ych ending to become ważnych.
I see the dictionary form of the verb is dyskutować, but why is it spelled dyskutujemy here?
This is a great reminder for verbs ending in -ować. In the present tense, that -owa- chunk always transforms into -uj- before you add the personal endings. Since the subject is "we", we add the first-person plural ending -emy, resulting in dyskutujemy.
