Is this genetive? Does "potrzebuję" take the genitive?

        Why not "I require a big bottle"?

          I think it really translates to "wymagam" and sounds rather strange.

            Why is it not dużej=bigger?

            The -ej ending is because it is genetive. I need a bigger bottle = Potrzebuję większej butelki (I think!) Duży/dużej= big większy/większej=bigger

              Thanks, it's clear now. I must find something good about Polish grammar because learning words is easy but I still don't know rules of conjugations and declensions.
