Questions & Answers about Komik sam jest bezczelny, więc nikt nie patrzy na niego.
Why do we use niego instead of go for "him" here?
Because it comes right after a preposition (na). In Polish, when third-person pronouns like go (him), ją (her), or je (it) follow a preposition, they add an n- at the beginning to make them easier to pronounce. So, you must say na niego instead of na go.
The verb is patrzy, but what case does na niego take?
The phrase patrzeć na (to look at) requires the Accusative case for the person or thing you are looking at. The Accusative form of "him" after a preposition is niego (while the standard Accusative without a preposition is go).
Why is there a nie before patrzy if the sentence already has nikt (nobody)?
Polish requires double negatives. Whenever you use a negative word like nikt (nobody), nic (nothing), or nigdy (never), you must still negate the verb by putting nie directly in front of it.
Does sam mean "alone" or "himself" here, and how can I tell?
