"Twoja mama jest na korytarzu."

Translation: Your mom is in the corridor.

[Viezenz]

The associated pronunciation of the sentence ends with the inflection of a question.

[nikomiller0]

w korytarzu*

[Jellei]

Both should and do work here.

In? On?

[Jellei]

https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/in-the-corridor-or-on-the-corridor.2699648/ Seems that it really should be "in".

@Jellei Could you explain more about it, please? When to use w korytarzu and when na korytarzu, why are both ways correct?

[Jellei]

I myself don't see much of a difference. Checking for an expert's opinion, I read: "w korytarzu" suggests a closed space, while "na korytarzu" - an open one, so for example you can vanish "w korytarzu" but your bed can be "na korytarzu" in a hospital. But the choice may be very individual and preferential. "na" seems to be two times more common.

Dzięki wielkie!

[Popo-lsku]

Thank you for the explanation.
If "w" and "na" works here, i miss the english translation "...at the corridor."!?

[margotgm]

why is it korytarzu rather than korytarz? how do nouns change with the locative case? is there some information about this somewhere?

[ZosiaD5]

Miejscownik zawsze występuje z przyimkiem w, we, na, o, po, przy.
The locative always appears with the preposition w, we, na, o, po, przy => so the noun korytarz (nom.) becomes korytarzu (loc.). Le locatif suit toujours les prépositions w, we, na, o, po przy. Donc le nom korytarz (couloir) devient korytarzu (dans le couloir)
