Questions & Answers about To jest liceum, gdzie poznałem moją żonę.
Can I use w którym instead of gdzie in this sentence?
Yes, you can! gdzie (where) acts as a relative pronoun connecting the two parts of the sentence. You could also say w którym (in which) because liceum is a neuter noun. However, gdzie is very natural for physical places and means you don't have to worry about matching noun genders and cases. Always remember the comma before gdzie!
Why doesn't the word liceum have a different ending here?
In this sentence, liceum is in the Nominative case after To jest. But even if it were in another case, it wouldn't change! Polish nouns of Latin origin that end in -um (like muzeum or centrum) do not change their forms in the singular. They only decline (change endings) in the plural.
What is the difference between poznałem and spotkałem in this context?
poznałem comes from poznać, which means to meet for the first time or to get to know. This tells us you first met your wife at this high school. If you used spotkałem (from spotkać), it would just mean you bumped into her or had a meeting with her there, not necessarily that it was your very first time meeting.
Why is the ending of moja żona changed to moją żonę?
