Questions & Answers about Musimy pokazać tę dokumentację audytorom.
Why is it tę dokumentację instead of tą dokumentację?
Dokumentacja is the direct object of pokazać (to show), so it takes the accusative case. The correct accusative form of the feminine word ta (this) is tę. While you might hear native speakers use tą here in casual everyday speech, tę is the grammatically correct form required in writing and formal speech.
What case is audytorom?
It is in the dative case because the auditors are the indirect object—the people to whom we must show the documentation. A helpful rule to remember is that absolutely all plural nouns in the dative case end in -om, no matter their gender!
Why does this sentence use the perfective verb pokazać?
We use the perfective pokazać because the action of showing the documentation is viewed as a single, complete event. If we needed to show it repeatedly or were in the middle of showing it, we would use the imperfective form pokazywać.
