When traveling around Poland or Europe, it is worth remembering about the right ends of the Genetive case. (\ud83d\udcf8 Damir Bosnjak)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When someone says that he is going to a city or from a city, obviously, the name of the city should be in the Genitive case:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

W poniedzia\u0142ek jad\u0119 do Gda\u0144ska<\/strong>.<\/em>
Moja mama leci do Madrytu<\/strong>.<\/em>
Poci\u0105g z Poznania<\/strong> do Amsterdamu<\/strong> odje\u017cd\u017ca o 15.15.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you have the following forms: Gda\u0144ska, Madrytu, Poznania, Amsterdamu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we know, the genitive singular masculine endings are  -a<\/strong> or -u<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that in mind, look again at the examples given above. Do you see the connection between cities and the Genetive form?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masz racj\u0119: Madryt(u)<\/strong> i Amsterdam(u)<\/strong> to miasta le\u017c\u0105ce poza granicami Polski, a Gda\u0144sk(a)<\/strong> i Poznani(a)<\/strong> to miasta w Polsce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re right: Madryt(-u)<\/strong> and Amsterdam(-u)<\/strong> are not Polish cities while Gda\u0144sk(-a)<\/strong> and Poznani(-a)<\/strong> are both cities in Poland. In most cases, so when you think about Polish city, and the city has a masculine name, it will take the genitive ending -a<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

do Szczecina<\/strong>
z Koszalina<\/strong>
do Wroc\u0142awia<\/strong>
z Lublina<\/strong>
and so on…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foreign cities usually take the form -u<\/strong> :<\/p>\n\n\n\n

do Pekinu<\/strong>
z Sztokholmu<\/strong>
do Dublinu<\/strong>
z Waszyngtonu<\/strong>
do Nowego Jorku<\/strong>
z Londynu
<\/strong>and so on…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this rule there are few exceptions. We say:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

do Pary\u017ca, <\/strong>
do Berlina, <\/strong>
do Wiednia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you know any Polish city in masculine, which takes the form -u of the genitive?
