Questions & Answers about Dziedziczysz każdy gen, więc twój problem jest genetyczny.
What is the base form of Dziedziczysz and how does it conjugate?
The infinitive is dziedziczyć (to inherit). It is an imperfective verb in the -isz/-ysz conjugation group. Because the stem ends in the hardened consonant cz, we use the -ysz ending for the singular you form, giving us dziedziczysz.
Why does każdy gen look like it is in the nominative case, even though it is the direct object being inherited?
It is actually in the accusative case! Because gen is an inanimate masculine noun, its accusative form looks exactly the same as its nominative form. The modifier każdy follows the exact same rule here.
Why is genetyczny in the nominative case instead of the instrumental case after the verb jest?
When you use the verb być (to be) to link a subject to an adjective, the adjective simply stays in the nominative case to match the subject. You only use the instrumental case when linking a subject to a noun phrase, such as if you were to say that the issue is a genetic problem.
Is there a difference between using więc and dlatego in this sentence?
They are very similar in meaning. Więc translates directly to so or therefore, acting as a simple conjunction to show a direct consequence. Dlatego means for that reason or that is why. You could technically use either here, but więc flows a bit more smoothly as a quick transition.
