"The future is far away."

Translation: Przyszłość jest daleko.

[JerryMcCarthy99]

I often wonder if the people who invented Dr Who's first adversary, the Daleks, used this handy Polish word as a root.

[Euhan1]

Tomorrow is near. Tomorrow is here, always too soon.

[hersylia1234]

przyszłość jest odległa - jest?

[Jellei]

Jest.

[Rafkens]

Przyszłość jest daleko stąd?

[Jellei]

Well... it adds the "from here" part.

[Arnoldpitt]

Can one use to instead of jest?

[JerryMcCarthy99]

I would doubt it; "to" only really works in ' "nounA" is "nounB" ' sentences; "Daleko" is an adverb here.

[citraman]

Not trying to be a nitpicker but I'd have thought we'd want an adjective modifying the future here. How come an adverb is used ? Thanks.

Wiktionary lists "far away" both as an adjective and an adverb, and their context for the adverb is in my opinion similar to our sentence: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/far_away

The place where the future is "somewhere far away".

We do accept an adjective, which is "odległa". But the adverb sounds way more natural to me personally.
