Questions & Answers about Nie wiem, czy warto zrezygnować z naszego planu.
The lesson is about using the dative case with words like warto. Why isn't there a dative word like nam (for us) in this sentence?
While you can definitely say czy nam warto (if it is worth it for us), the dative experiencer is often dropped when it's obvious from context or applies to people in general. Since the sentence already mentions naszego planu (our plan), it is perfectly clear who is affected without needing to add nam.
Why do we use czy for "if" here instead of jeśli?
In Polish, czy is used for indirect yes/no questions where you mean "whether" (like "I don't know whether it's worth it"). The word jeśli is strictly used for condition-and-result sentences, such as "If it rains, we will stay home."
Why is the preposition z used after zrezygnować?
The verb zrezygnować (to give up, to resign) always pairs with the preposition z followed by the Genitive case. Even though in English we say "give up ON a plan", in Polish you literally resign "from" something, hence z naszego planu.
Why does planu end in -u here?
It is in the Genitive case, which is triggered by the preposition z when used with zrezygnować. Masculine inanimate nouns like plan very frequently take the -u ending in the Genitive singular.
