Pattern
noun + który + clause
How it works
Który helps Polish attach extra information to a noun without starting a fully separate sentence. This pattern typically appears as noun + który + clause and becomes easier when you meet it again in short, readable examples.
What to notice
- Który changes form with gender, number, and case.
- Case still matters inside the relative clause.
Why it matters
Attach ideas and descriptions more tightly.
Use in context
This is a major reading skill because descriptive and explanatory Polish often relies on relative clauses.
