&lt;div&gt;&amp;lt;div class=&amp;quot;pg_page_title&amp;quot;&amp;gt;How to use Cases in Polish&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Poland-Timeline-PolyglotClub.png|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
Hi Polish Learners! 😃&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
➡ In today's lesson we will learn How to use '''CASES''' in Polish. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Cases are very important in declension languages: they give meaning to sentences. This is why it is necessary to know how to use them correctly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are '''7 Polish cases''': &lt;br /&gt;
# nominative (mianownik) &lt;br /&gt;
# genitive (dopełniacz) &lt;br /&gt;
# dative (celownik) &lt;br /&gt;
# accusative (biernik) &lt;br /&gt;
# instrumental (narzędnik) &lt;br /&gt;
# locative (miejscownik) &lt;br /&gt;
# vocative (wołacz)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have listed below each case with its agreement rules and how to use it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Happy learning!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Nominative - &amp;quot;Mianownik&amp;quot; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== When to use it? ===&lt;br /&gt;
So, let's start with the simplest case of all - the nominative (in Polish - mianownik). This is the basic name, as it appears in a dictionary (you need to have one to learn Polish well, of course). And this is the case which is used when a noun is the subject of a sentence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, let's take one of the most beloved Polish drinks - Żubrówka. If you want to explain to someone what Żubrówka is, you would make a simple sentence like this: &amp;quot;Żubrówka is a type of vodka&amp;quot; which in Polish can be translated as: &amp;quot;Żubrówka jest rodzajem wódki&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The subject of the sentence, Żubrówka does not acquire a &amp;quot;funky&amp;quot; ending (yes I confirm there are funky endings in Polish !!). It stays the same. You see ? Easy as pie! It's the other noun that have changed, but you'll see why as you explore the following cases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another example: Student uczy się: the student studies, &amp;quot;Student&amp;quot; is here in the nominative form it therefore takes the basic form of the dictionary and it agrees in gender and numbers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Genitive - &amp;quot;Dopełniacz&amp;quot; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== When to use it? ===&lt;br /&gt;
The genitive is mainly used to express possession.&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!'''Polish'''&lt;br /&gt;
|Samochód mojego brata.&lt;br /&gt;
|Rower studenta.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!'''Translation'''&lt;br /&gt;
|My brother's car.&lt;br /&gt;
|The student's bike.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But also in the following cases:&lt;br /&gt;
* provenance or destination: ''idę do domu'' - I'm going home&lt;br /&gt;
* ''wracam od studenta'': i come back from (at) the student&lt;br /&gt;
* object complement in negative sentence: ''nie lubię studenta'' - I don't like the student&lt;br /&gt;
* after certain verbs (''szukać'': to look for - ''potrzebować'': to need ...): ''szukam studenta'' - I am looking for a student&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== Dative - &amp;quot;Celownik&amp;quot; which comes from celować (to aim). ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== When to use it? ===&lt;br /&gt;
The dative is used when speaking ''for'' or ''towards (or to)'' a person. We use the dative without marking the preposition ''for'' .&lt;br /&gt;
* ''dziękuję studentowi'': I thank the student (literally I thank the student)&lt;br /&gt;
* ''obiecałam studentowi, że przyjdę'': I promised the student that I would come&lt;br /&gt;
*''daję ci to'': I'm giving this to you&lt;br /&gt;

|dzieciom.&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
!'''Translation'''&lt;br /&gt;
|For kids.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The use of + dative ''verse'' is rare and archaic (we will rather use ''ku'' + genitive; this is archaic/old-fashioned).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!'''Polish'''&lt;br /&gt;

We use what is in parentheses when the noun (or adjective) ends in &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;''k'' , ''g'' or ''ch''&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Some nouns take a ''-&amp;lt;code&amp;gt;u&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;'' including ''ojciec, brat, chłop, chłopiec, pan, Bóg, ksiądz, diabeł, pies, kot, świat, lew''. &lt;br /&gt;
* The Feminine nouns ending with &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-''ia''&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; take &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-i&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, those ending with &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-''i''&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; do not change and those ending in a consonant take &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-y (-i)&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Accusative - &amp;quot;Biernik&amp;quot; which comes from bierny (passive). ==&lt;br /&gt;

direct object ''Widzę studenta'': I see the student after the verbs of movement with prepositions (na, po ...):&lt;br /&gt;
* ''idę na koncert'': I'm going to a concert&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The accusative is mainly used to express the direct object&lt;br /&gt;

==Instrumental - &amp;quot;Narzędnik&amp;quot;==&lt;br /&gt;
===When to use it? ===&lt;br /&gt;
# The means or the instrument &amp;quot;: ''Jadę autobusem'': I'm going by bus&lt;br /&gt;
# Support: ''rozmawiam z studentem'': I speak with a student&lt;br /&gt;
# Subject attribute: ''jestem studentem'': I am a student&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The instrumental is probably the easiest case of all. In Polish its name is more exotic: narzędnik. Narzędnik comes from the word ''narzędzie'' which means tool, instrument.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Polish name of this case serves to recall one of the possible uses. That is to say, when we use something as a tool, we use the instrumental. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example :&lt;br /&gt;
* ''Dziecko je widelcem'' The child eats with a fork. &lt;br /&gt;
* ''Studentka pisze ołówkiem'' The student writes with a pencil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The instrumental must always appear after the preposition &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;z&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; in the sense of &amp;quot;with&amp;quot; (because &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;z&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; can also mean &amp;quot;of&amp;quot;), for example: &lt;br /&gt;
* dżin z tonikiem (gin tonic), &lt;br /&gt;
* kobieta z mężczyzną (woman with man), &lt;br /&gt;
* woda z lodem (water with ice cubes).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another situation where we use the instrumental is after the verb &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;być&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; (to be) conjugated. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example: &lt;br /&gt;
* Ja jestem Polką. I am Polish. &lt;br /&gt;
* On jest rybakiem. He is a fisherman. &lt;br /&gt;
* One są babciami. They are grandmothers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This rule does not apply to first names. We say: ''Jestem Ilona'' and not ''Jestem Iloną''. However, an actor could say ''Jestem Hamletem'', since it is not his first name but the role he plays.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also use the instrumental when we speak of:&lt;br /&gt;
* nationality: On jest Serbem, One są Brazylijkami; = He is Serb, They are Brazilians;&lt;br /&gt;
* professions: My jesteśmy fryzjerkami, Ona jest antropolożką; = We are hairdressers, she is an anthropologist;&lt;br /&gt;
* family: On jest ojcem, Wy jesteście wnuczkami; = He is the father, you are granddaughters;&lt;br /&gt;
* sexual orientation: Jestem lesbijką, Oni są gejami; = I am a lesbian, They are gay;&lt;br /&gt;
* religion: Jesteś buddystą, Jestem ateistą = You are a Buddhist, I am an atheist&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
etc.&lt;br /&gt;

!'''Translation'''&lt;br /&gt;
|I'll go by plane.&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
Note that there is no translation for &amp;quot;en&amp;quot;. It is the use of the case that gives the meaning to the sentence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We also use this case with the preposition &amp;quot;with&amp;quot;, '''z''' in Polish.&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
!'''Polish'''&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Note: we can omit the preposition ''z'' .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This case is also used with nouns called &amp;quot;predicates&amp;quot; (part of the sentence (or clause) that says something about the subject, other than naming it).&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Locative - &amp;quot;Miejscownik&amp;quot; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Locative is mainly used to express the situation of something / someone. Always used with a preposition (o, w, przy ...), &lt;br /&gt;
* ''jestem w łazience'': I'm in the bathroom&lt;br /&gt;
* ''myślę o studencie'' - I think of the student&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
We use what is in parenthesis when the noun (or adjective) ends in &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;k , g or ch&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Words ending in &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-k , -g , -ch and -/e/c&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; take the ending &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-u&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;. Some irregular words also take this endings, the most important of which are '''dom''' (house), '''syn''' (son) and '''pan''' (sir).&lt;br /&gt;
* Feminine nouns ending with &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-ia&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; take &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-i&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, those ending in &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-i&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; do not change and those ending in a consonant take &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-y(-i)&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
* Neutral nouns ending in &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-ę&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; take &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-u + la&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;. Names in &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-um&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt; do not decline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Vocative - &amp;quot;wołacz&amp;quot; ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We address the person: studencie!&lt;br /&gt;

The vocative (wołacz) is formed like this: &lt;br /&gt;

* Feminine nouns usually take &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-o&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, with the exception of those ending in &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-sia, -cia, -nia, and -dzia&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, which will end in &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-u&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, and those ending in &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-sia, -cia, -nia, and -dzia&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;. end in &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-ść&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;, which will take &amp;lt;code&amp;gt;-i&amp;lt;/code&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Masculine nouns follow a more complex logic but the following table will give you the main endings, examples: &lt;br /&gt;
** Bóg → Boże (&amp;quot;God&amp;quot;), &lt;br /&gt;
** ojciec → ojcze (&amp;quot;father&amp;quot;)&lt;br /&gt;
** chłopiec → chłopcze (&amp;quot;boy&amp;quot;). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Neutral nouns follow the case of nominative.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

|-&lt;br /&gt;
|''wilk'' (Wolf)&lt;br /&gt;
|''wilku!''&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The nominative is used more and more instead of the vocative when addressing people with their proper names. In these other cases, however, it will also be used:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===To address a person using their function, title, rank or role in the family===&lt;br /&gt;
* Panie doktorze (Doctor!), Panie prezesie! (Director!)&lt;br /&gt;
* Przybywasz za późno, pływaku (You arrived too late, swimmer)&lt;br /&gt;
* synu (son!), mamo (mom!), tato (dad!)&lt;br /&gt;
===Sometimes for the demonstrative .... emphasis===&lt;br /&gt;
* Nie rozumiesz mnie, moja droga Basiu! (You don't understand me, my dear Basia!)&lt;br /&gt;
===To address a person in a condescending manner===&lt;br /&gt;
* Zamknij się, pajacu! (Shut up, clown!)&lt;br /&gt;
* Co się gapisz, idioto? (What are you looking at, idiot!)&lt;br /&gt;
* Nie znasz się, baranie, to nie pisz (Stop writing, idiot, you don't know anything!)&lt;br /&gt;
* Spadaj wieśniaku! (Get out of the way, peasant!)&lt;br /&gt;
===After &amp;quot;Ty&amp;quot; (personal pronoun - singular second person)===&lt;br /&gt;
* Ty kłamczuchu! (You liar!)&lt;br /&gt;
===Ready-made expressions===&lt;br /&gt;
*(O) Matko!, (O) Boże!, chłopie (Mother!, God!, man)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The vocative is also sometimes used in an emotional context like:&lt;br /&gt;
* Kocham Cię, Krzysiu! (&amp;quot;I love you, Chris!&amp;quot;) &lt;br /&gt;
Or &lt;br /&gt;
* Tęsknię za Tobą, moja Żono. (&amp;quot;I miss you, my wife!&amp;quot;).&lt;br /&gt;
