Language / Instrumental and byc - Polish grammar issue [46]

Merged: Byc- instrumental in all cases?

If I were to say "I am a rock", "She is a beauty", or "You are a Christmas tree", would I place rock, beauty, or Christmas tree in the instrumental?

I ask this because I want to check whether ALL nouns (besides profession) become instrumental after byc.

Also, I realized that there was a very similar sounding thread besides this.
I read through it and it doesn't answer my question, although it does explain other questions very well.
I apologize if I should have combined this thread, but any help would be appreciated! Thank you!

Ok, thank you very much, lyzko! That clears up a lot of things for me!

Oh, another question. In conversation, do Poles sometimes mix up cases? I asked a family member who speaks Polish how to say, "I am a cat", and he said "Jestem kot".

Is it normal for Poles to be a little lazy with grammar, when talking?

Language / Polish Accusative Pronouns - Plural [30]

I have been studying accusative pronouns, and for the most part they are pretty straightforward.
However, I came across "Oni" and "One" which correspond to "they" (masculine/ masculine & feminine) and "they" (feminine only)

I was wondering, does this apply just to people? If I have a feminine plural object in the accusative, do I use oni or one?

Ex. "Kanapki, kocham oni!" Or perhaps, "Kanapki, kocham one!"?
