Questions & Answers about Moja dieta wegetariańska ma dużo białka.
Since this lesson is about the verb woleć (to prefer), how would I say 'I prefer my vegetarian diet'?
The verb woleć requires the Accusative case for the object being preferred. For a feminine noun like dieta, the ending changes to -ę, and feminine adjectives like moja and wegetariańska change to -ą. So, you would say Wolę moją dietę wegetariańską.
Why is the word for protein spelled białka here instead of białko?
In Polish, quantity words like dużo (a lot) and mało (a little) require the noun that follows them to take the Genitive case. Because białko is a neuter noun, its Genitive form takes an -a ending, making it białka.
Why does the adjective wegetariańska come after the noun dieta?
Adjectives that classify something into a specific official type or category usually go after the noun in Polish. Because vegetarian defines the exact category of the diet, it is placed after dieta. Notice that standard describing words like moja (my) still go normally before the noun.
I've seen the word białko used in baking recipes. Does it just mean protein?
Besides meaning protein in a nutritional context, białko is also the standard Polish word for an egg white. You can usually tell which meaning is intended based on whether the topic is general nutrition or cooking!
