Questions & Answers about Można analizować ten wykres kołowy bardzo długo.
Why is there no word for 'one' or 'you' before można?
Można is an impersonal word that means 'it is possible' or 'one can'. It never takes a subject pronoun. You simply follow it directly with an infinitive verb, which is analizować (to analyze) here.
What case is ten wykres kołowy in here, and why haven't the endings changed?
It is in the accusative case because it is the direct object of the verb analizować. However, wykres is a masculine inanimate noun. For masculine inanimate nouns, the accusative case is identical to the nominative (dictionary) form, which is why ten wykres kołowy looks completely unchanged.
What does kołowy literally mean in the phrase wykres kołowy?
Kołowy is an adjective derived from koło, which means 'circle' or 'wheel'. So a 'pie chart' in Polish is literally a 'circle chart'. This is exactly the kind of chart you would use to visualize the complex fractions (like dwie piąte) you are learning in this lesson!
