Temat: Polish is an easy language:
There are 3 genders and 14 case endings for Polish nouns (that's 42 possible endings to put on a noun)Adjectives change endings to agree with the noun and the endings are different from the noun. That's another 3 genders multiplied by 42.
42 multiplied by 42 is 1764.
1764 is the calculation you have to make to stick a noun with an adjective in Polish.
In English there are 3 possibilities. Same adjective plus either plural noun or Saxon genitive.
3
Compare 1764 with 3
Call me a wanker, but to me 3 seems easier than 1764
