Grammar - Locative Case Adjectives

In the Locative case adjectives are much easier to learn than nouns ... because you have learnt them already!

Thinking Brain

Feminine Nouns

For feminine nouns the adjectives, as well as forms of my, your and this, end the same way as they do in the Genetive case

  • Nie lubię nowej apteki
  • Jestem w nowej aptece

Let's get a new word

  • Kitchen - kuchnia

In both the Genetive and Locative cases kitchen is 'kuchni'. So how would you say:

  • I don't like my kitchen -
  • She is in my kitchen -
Transfer

Masculine and Neuter nouns

Here adjectives, as well as forms of my, your and this, end the same way as in the Instrumental.

  • Mam problem z twoim starym samochodem
  • Jestem w twoim starym samochodzie

So how would you say:

  • I have a problem with your new supermarket -
  • I am in your new supermarket -
Right Hand

Heads up!

The locative is also the case when using 'on'

  • Table - stół
  • On the table - Na stole

So how would you say:

  • The coffee is on the old table -
  • The cat is on my table -
