Questions & Answers about Nie wiem, czy jego opinia o mnie jest szczera.
Why is it o mnie and not a different form of ja?
The preposition o (meaning "about") always requires the Locative case. The Locative form of the pronoun ja (I) is mnie.
Can I use jeśli instead of czy for "if" in this sentence?
No, you must use czy here. Use czy when expressing uncertainty or asking a yes/no question, meaning "whether". You use jeśli only for conditions, like "If it rains, we will stay home."
Why does szczera (honest) end in "-a"?
It describes the noun opinia (opinion). Since opinia ends in "-a", it is a feminine noun, so the adjective must take the feminine ending -a instead of the masculine -y (szczery).
Does the word jego (his) change its ending to match opinia?
No, jego never changes its form. It is the possessive form of on (he) and stays exactly the same regardless of the gender, number, or case of the noun it describes.
