Questions & Answers about To jest najgorsza opcja, ale najszybsze rozwiązanie.
Why does najgorsza look so different from the regular Polish word for bad?
Just like in English (bad, worse, worst), the Polish adjective zły (bad) is irregular. Its comparative form is gorszy (worse), and the superlative is najgorszy (worst). In this sentence, it takes the -a ending to match its feminine noun.
How do you build the superlative form seen in najszybsze?
For most adjectives, you take the comparative form and simply add the prefix naj-. The base word here is szybki (fast). Its comparative is szybszy (faster), so adding the prefix gives us najszybszy (fastest).
Why do the two superlative adjectives have different endings (-a vs -e)?
Even in their superlative forms, adjectives must match the gender of the noun they describe. Opcja is a feminine noun, so we need the feminine ending -a for najgorsza. Rozwiązanie is a neuter noun, so it takes the neuter ending -e for najszybsze.
Why aren't the nouns and adjectives in the Instrumental case here?
While the verb być (to be) usually requires the Instrumental case when describing what something is, the specific phrase To jest (This is) is an exception. When using To jest to point something out, the following nouns and adjectives stay in the basic Nominative case.
