Jest/To jest - to jest is often abbreviated to just to [24]
It's obvious that
to jest is often abbreviated to just
to. (e.g. To świetna piosenka!)
But in a sentence like:
"X is Y" (where X is a noun and Y is an adjective)
the word "is" is sometimes translated into just
jest and sometimes into
to jest (often abbreviated to just
to).
Examples of the 2 constructions:1. Samochód jest biały.
2. Kolokwium to (jest) dużo pracy.
So when are you supposed to use just
jest, and when to use
to (=to jest)? In a sentence that begins with a noun. Of course "to" can be a substitute for the noun, but that's not the kind of sentences that I mean now.
Thanks in advance!
