Questions & Answers about Obwód twojego brzucha rośnie codziennie.
Why do we use the Genitive case for twojego brzucha here?
The Genitive case is used here to show possession or an of relationship. We are talking about the circumference of your belly. Because of this, both the pronoun twój and the masculine noun brzuch change to their Genitive forms: twojego and brzucha.
The verb rośnie looks different from its infinitive. What is the base form?
The infinitive is rosnąć (to grow). In the present tense, the stem changes to rośn- before adding the endings, making the third-person singular form rośnie.
How is the adverb codziennie formed?
Why is the pronoun twojego placed after the first noun instead of at the beginning of the sentence?
In Polish, possessive pronouns stay close to the specific noun they modify. Since it is the circumference of your belly rather than your circumference, the word twojego must directly modify and sit next to brzucha.
