Questions & Answers about Czy czytasz coraz płynniej?
What exactly does coraz mean here, and how do you use it?
The word coraz shows progressive change, meaning "more and more" or "increasingly". You always use it right before a comparative adjective or adverb. In this sentence, it combines with płynniej to mean "more and more fluently".
Why is the word płynniej used instead of bardziej płynnie?
Płynniej is the standard one-word comparative form of the adverb płynnie (fluently). While English uses "more fluently", Polish prefers to change the ending of the adverb itself rather than adding bardziej (more) whenever a one-word form exists.
How do we build the word płynniej from the basic dictionary form?
The basic adverb is płynnie. To make it comparative (meaning "more fluently"), you change the -nie ending to -niej.
Could I say coraz więcej płynniej to match the English "more and more"?
No, that is a common trap! The single word coraz already contains the idea of "more and more" or an ongoing increase. Adding words like więcej or repeating coraz is incorrect. Just use coraz plus the comparative adverb.
