Questions & Answers about Dzisiaj bardzo dobrze widać niebo.
Why does the English translation say "You can see", but there is no word for "you" in Polish?
This sentence uses widać, which is a special impersonal word meaning "one can see" or "is visible". Polish uses these predicate words for the senses instead of a specific subject like "you" or "we" when talking about a general experience.
Is widać an infinitive verb? It ends in "-ć".
It looks like one, but it's actually an unchangeable word called a predicate. You don't conjugate it like the regular verb widzieć (to see). It just stays widać no matter who is looking!
What case is niebo (the sky) in this sentence?
It is in the accusative case, acting as the direct object of widać (because it is the thing being seen). Because niebo is a neuter noun, its accusative form looks exactly the same as its basic dictionary form.
Could I change the word order to Dzisiaj widać niebo bardzo dobrze?
Yes! Polish word order is flexible. Putting bardzo dobrze (very well) right before widać slightly emphasizes the quality of the visibility, but moving it to the end is also completely correct and natural.
