 English Preposition

Polish preposition

in

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Apply it to Sentence Structure

 

 

Just as in English you say:

          I live in . . .   .

 

In Polish you would say:

         Mieszkam w . . .   .

 

 

After the word w we would normally change the ending of the following word into a Locative case (nouns mostly ending in -e or u, but don't worry about this now, we will take one thing at a time). For now, we will provide you with a few  city names in their Locative case.

 

Examples:

 

Mieszkam w Warszawie.

            I live in Warszawa (Warsaw).

 

Ty mieszkasz w Krakowie.

            You live in Kracow (Kraków).

 

On mieszka w Gdańsku.

            He lives in Gdańsk.

 

Ona mieszka w Chicago.

            She lives in Chicago.

 

My mieszkamy w Londynie.

            We live in London (Londyn).

 

Wy mieszkacie w Paryżu.

            You all live in Paris (Paryż).

 

Oni mieszkają w Berlinie.

            They (m) live in Berlin.
