Questions & Answers about Ten wykres jest dobrze widoczny na tym slajdzie.
Why does the word slajd change to slajdzie at the end of the sentence?
It is in the locative case because it follows the preposition na (on) indicating a location. The locative ending -e causes the hard consonant d at the end of slajd to soften into dzi, making it slajdzie.
Why do we use tym instead of ten before slajdzie?
The word tym is the locative form of the demonstrative pronoun ten (this) for masculine nouns. Since slajdzie is in the locative case, the pronoun attached to it must also be in the locative case so that they match.
Why use the adverb dobrze (well) instead of the adjective dobry (good)?
Could I say Ten wykres dobrze widać na tym slajdzie?
Yes! Using widać (it is possible to see / can be seen) is a very natural and common alternative in Polish. Both sentences mean almost the exact same thing, but the original sentence is slightly more formal by using the adjective widoczny (visible).
