Questions & Answers about My zawsze jesteśmy spokojni podczas jogi.
Why does the word joga change to jogi in this sentence?
The preposition podczas (during) always requires the noun that follows it to take the Genitive case. Because joga is a feminine noun ending in -a, its Genitive form changes to jogi.
Could I use w trakcie instead of podczas here?
Absolutely! Both podczas and w trakcie mean "during" and both require the Genitive case. You can say w trakcie jogi and the sentence will mean exactly the same thing.
Why is the adjective for calm spelled spokojni instead of spokojne?
spokojni is the masculine personal form, which tells us that this group of "we" includes at least one male. If the group doing yoga consisted entirely of women, you would use the non-masculine personal form spokojne.
Is it necessary to include the pronoun My at the beginning of the sentence?
No, you could just say Zawsze jesteśmy... because the verb jesteśmy already tells us the subject is "we". Including My adds a little extra emphasis, as if to say "We are always calm" (even if other people are not).
