Thread: Mam pytanie!

Dear kamka,

could you please help me with the two words highlighted in blue causing me trouble in finding them in my Polish-German dictionary?:

Wiedzieć "coś" o pisarzu to nie tylko umieć zlokalizować go na osi literackiego czasu, ale przede wszystkim znać jego tw

oś is basically a pivot, or axis.
in this context, however, it's more like a timeline, like this one:

the whole sentence means that knowing "something" about an author is not just being able to tell whether he was from Middle-ages, Reneissance etc

as for "głębiej" is a comparative form of an adjective "głęboko" (deep)
głęboko-głębiej-najgłębiej
