Questions & Answers about Krawiec uszyje mi go za miesiąc.
Why is the order mi go and not go mi?
When you have a cluster of short pronouns (clitics), Polish follows a specific order: Dative (to/for whom) comes before Accusative (who/what). Here, the dative mi (for me) naturally comes before the accusative go (it).
Could I put the pronouns at the end of the sentence, like Krawiec uszyje za miesiąc mi go?
Why does za mean "in" here instead of "behind"?
When talking about future time, the preposition za followed by a unit of time in the accusative case translates to "in" a certain amount of time. Therefore, za miesiąc means "in a month". If it were describing a physical location like "behind the month", it would require a different case (the instrumental case).
The English translation says "will sew". Why isn't there a future tense helper word like będzie?
