Language / Słuchać + G usage in song titles. [5]
Hello,
As the verb "słuchać" must be combined with a noun in the Genitive case, how can one say, "I am listening to ..." properly when many song titles don't always allow this easily?
I mean, it is obviously proper grammar to say "Czego słuchasz", and I even did a Google search using that phrase against "Co słuchasz", and the former turned up with many more hits.
So, how can I continue the proper usage of this construction? I suppose that it is possible to say "Słucham Mazurka Dąbrowskiego", but how can one say "Słucham (Niech mówią, że to nie jest miłość)"?
I would like to know how this can be properly used in other verb constructions which require the use of the Genitive case, np. "szukać".
Kind regards
