Why is it " domu" and not dom

[immery]

because you need genitive after potrzebować, and genitive form of dom is domu

Thank you

We don't have home - Nie mamy domu (D - Genitive)
We need (a) home - Potrzebujemy domu (D - Genitive)
We need to have home - Musimy mieć dom (B - Accus)

We have a HOUSE - Mamy DOM (Biernik - Accusative)
We don't need IT - Nie potrzebujemy DOMU (D - Gen)

The HOUSE we live in now does not feel like home.
(W DOMU, w którym teraz mieszkamy, nie czujemy
się jak w... domu (at home)/jak... u siebie (w domu)

I wrote, " my potrzebujemy dome." Is it incorrect?

[Jellei]

"dome" is not any existing form of "dom".

"potrzebować" takes Genitive, and Genitive of "dom" is "domu".

[richard224020]

why not

Potrzebujemy do domu.

[Jellei]

Why "do"? Your sentence makes some sense, although it sounds a bit like a child speaking, but if anything, that means "We need (to go) home".

[Yola448704]

We need to/We have to go home - Musimy iść do
domu (Genitive)

to need something (noun) - potrzebować (rzeczownika)
to need to - musieć

It is NOT correct in Polish to combine "potrzebować" with a verb.
