Questions & Answers about Właśnie o tym mówię!
Why is the word tym used here instead of to?
In Polish, when you use the preposition o to mean "about," the word that follows must be in the Locative case. Tym is the Locative form of the pronoun to (this/that). So, o tym literally translates as "about this."
I usually see właśnie translated as "just". Does it mean something different here?
Could I change the word order and say Właśnie mówię o tym?
Why use mówię instead of another speaking verb like rozmawiam?
Mówię (from mówić) means "I am saying," "speaking," or "talking" in a general way, like expressing a thought. Rozmawiam means "I am conversing" or having a two-way discussion with someone. Since you are emphasizing the point you are making, mówię is the right choice.
