Questions & Answers about To lekarstwo jest za gorzkie.
Can I use zbyt instead of za in this sentence?
Doesn't za usually mean 'behind' or 'for'? How do I know it means 'too' here?
You are right that za is often a preposition meaning 'behind' (like za domem) or 'for' (like dziękuję za). However, when za is placed directly in front of an adjective (like gorzkie) or an adverb, its meaning changes to 'too' or 'excessively'.
Why does the adjective end in -e (gorzkie)?
The adjective has to match the gender of the noun it describes. lekarstwo (medicine) ends in -o, which makes it a neuter noun. In the basic subject case (nominative), neuter adjectives end in -e, so the masculine gorzki becomes gorzkie.
Why do we use To at the beginning of the sentence instead of Ten or Ta?
