Questions & Answers about Niech kierownik ocenia te raporty zgodnie z polityką jakości.
Why is polityką in the instrumental case here?
It follows the phrase zgodnie z (in accordance with). The preposition z requires the instrumental case when it connects with a noun to mean "with". Therefore, the nominative polityka (policy) changes to its instrumental form, polityką.
Why doesn't jakości also change to the instrumental case to match polityką?
Because jakości is in the genitive case, literally meaning "of quality" (from the nominative noun jakość). The Polish phrase for "quality policy" is polityka jakości (policy of quality). The preposition zgodnie z only affects the main noun it acts on (polityka), while the describing noun (jakości) stays in the genitive.
How does the word niech work in this sentence?
Niech is a word used to create commands or strong suggestions for the third person (he, she, it, they). To say "Let the manager evaluate" or "The manager should evaluate", you simply combine niech with the subject (kierownik) and the standard present-tense verb (ocenia).
Why use the imperfective verb ocenia instead of a perfective verb like oceni?
Using the imperfective ocenia (to evaluate) suggests this is a general rule, a regular policy, or an ongoing responsibility for the manager. If this were a one-time command to evaluate a specific batch of reports just this once, the sentence would use the perfective form oceni.
