Polish Accusative's: Help required

I have a task of completing sentences using the correct form of accusative nouns and adjectives.
Example:
Q1. Czekam na ............ [mój brat].
Because it is masc and animate it is:
A1. Czekam na mojego brata.

I am having trouble because I know there are different rules regarding names.............but I have forgotten them!
Q2. Czy czekacie na ...................... [pan Kowalski].
Q3. Czy czekacie na ...................... [profesor Nowak].
Q4. Czekam na ................. [pani Anna].
Q5. Czekam na ................. [pani Lewińska].

If someone could refresh my memory on the rules regarding names in the accusative case it would be a great help.
I seem to remember that -ski is considered an adjective?
Either male or female names do not change?

...na Pana Kowalskiego?


...na profesora Nowaka?


...na Panią Anne.


...na Panią Lewińską.


Maybe somebody else will explain you the rules...

Thanks Polish girl.

I understand the first example.

Treat as masculine/animate. Pan=Noun/Kowalski=Adjective.

I'll need an explanation for the remaining three.

it's because Kowalski is an adjective as has been said, where as Nowak is treated as a noun, hence Nowaka in example 2.

Examples 3 and 4 you have Anna -> Annę (noun fem acc) and Lewińska is an adjective hence Lewińską (adj fem acc).

First names are nouns.
Surnames are also nouns unless ending with -ski, -ska. In which case they become adjectives.

Am I correct in the above statement?

If I am correct are there any more names/parts of names that are treated as anything other than nouns?

Yes, although it's hard to say if those surnames really become adjectives (from the logical point of view), but their declension is identical to adjectives, so grammatically we treat them as adjectives.
This also applies to:
- surnames with -cki/-cka and -dzki/-dzka endings (for example Nowacki, Niedźwiedzka)
- surnames that are "pure adjectives" (fro example Cichy = silent, Czarny = black, Biały = white) although this case is more complicated, Polish laws allow people with surnames that are "pure adjectives" to choose if they want it with normal declension (Maria Czarna, Marii Czarnej, Marię Czarną etc.) or without any declension, then the Nominative male form is used in all cases, also for women, (Maria Czarny, Marii Czarny, Marię Czarny etc.)


Rather not, but there are nouns that follow the adjective declension pattern (for example "uczony" - I'm sure I wrote about it not long ago in one of your threads).

Yes you did. In my 'ACCUSATIVE.Masc/Fem/Neu' thread.
You have been a great help to me.
Thank you.
