Questions & Answers about Ludzie zawsze o nas plotkują.
Why do we use nas here after o?
The preposition o meaning "about" requires the Locative case. The Locative form of my (we) is nas. So o nas translates to "about us".
I thought nas was used for the Genitive and Accusative cases. Is it also Locative?
Yes! The pronoun my (we) is very friendly to learners. Its form is exactly the same (nas) in the Genitive, Accusative, and Locative cases. You don't have to learn a new word for this one!
What is the dictionary form (infinitive) of the verb plotkują?
The infinitive is plotkować (to gossip). Remember that verbs ending in -ować drop that ending and add -uj- in the present tense. For "they" (third-person plural), we add the ending -ą, making it plotkują.
What is the singular form of ludzie (people)?
The singular is człowiek (person or human). This is a highly irregular noun where the plural looks like a completely different word, which is a great thing to review if you haven't seen it in a while!
