How do I form the genitive case in Polish?

Question

I'd like to know how the genitive case is formed in Polish, please.

How would 'the word of the day' translate to Polish?

Thank you for your help.

I would prefer answers not be the result from an automated and poor translation, thanks.

I understand that there are complications of Polish grammar, but for some reason, I cannot find good resources through the Internet.

I'd like a sensible and correct answer as soon as possible, please.

Answer 1

The word of the day= Slowo (wyraz) na dzien or slowo (wyraz) dnia.

Word= slowo or wyraz (in this case it is better to use slowo, though)
of the day= na dzien or dnia

Both are correct.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

The answer to your first question about the genitive case is not easy to explain. It all depends on the gender and number (singular plural) of the noun, plus whatever letter the noun ends in.

For example samochod is car. Nie mam samochodu is the genitive case. Genitive is expressed when the direct object of the sentence is negative like my example or its a sentence showing possession.

To jest dom mojego brata. (that's my brothers house)

Singular- samochodu, plural samochodow

Not genitive= Jest mleko? = is there milk?

Genitive = nie ma mleka. There is no milk.

Books on grammar will explain, it takes a long time to master.

try this for help, but this also doesnt explain it well enough. A book is best

Answer 3

I hope you realize that the previous answer is quite wrong. I don't know Polish well enough to answer your question, but Polish nouns are quite complex in terms of how the genitive, accusative, etc. is formed. There is a wider range of nominal classes in Polish than in Latin or any other Indo-European language I'm familiar with.

'the wyraz od ten day'
