Questions & Answers about Dzisiaj jest okrągła rocznica, więc organizujemy obchody naszego zwycięstwa.
Why is okrągła rocznica in the Nominative case here?
Because the phrase dzisiaj jest (today is) is used to state what the day is, so the subject takes the Nominative case. If we were saying that an event happened on a specific date or anniversary, we would use the Genitive or Locative case, but here we are just identifying the day itself.
What exactly is an okrągła rocznica?
It translates literally as a "round anniversary." In Polish, this phrase is commonly used to describe major milestone anniversaries, usually those ending in a zero or a five, such as a 10th, 20th, or 25th anniversary.
Is the word obchody always plural?
Yes, obchody (meaning celebrations, observance, or festivities) is a plural-only noun in Polish. Even if you are talking about one single organized commemorative event, you must treat it grammatically as a plural word.
Why are the words naszego zwycięstwa in the Genitive case?
They translate to "of our victory." When one noun connects to another to show possession or what it relates to (acting like the English word "of"), the second phrase takes the Genitive case. Here, the Genitive shows exactly what the obchody are for.
