Find error in a Polish article

Hello Polish learners.

I recently noticed that I'm getting more and more frustrated of the level of the Polish language in the articles in internet news sites. But today I realized that it could be made useful.

I have a proposal for all who learn Polish language to take it as a kind of an exercise to trace language errors in the articles.

If you like the idea, you can try this article from onet.pl for start:

To make it easier I can tell you that the problem is in grammar (not spelling) and here's an excerpt that contains the error:


Good luck and let me know if you like the idea and want more :-)

Hi Cinek, my level is probably not the best yet, but I can always give it a try...

I'm not sure about 'uznawany'. Uznany maybe? No? ^^

No, keep trying :-)

+1.
My Polish isn't great either, but i would have put uważany instead of uznawany.

It's more matter of style than grammar, anyways both are ok.

The error I mean here is pure grammar (wrong endings).

Cinek

My Polish is rubbish as well:) I'm wondering if the "dwóch tygodni" is correct in this sentence?

Yes, it is.

Keep trying :-)

Cinek

Hmm..........umarł......still nie? ;)

Przyczyną instead?

no


no

twórców horrorów looks a bit suspicious , is the grammar correct?

w ponad? Is this correct?

It's correct. I would change only this sentence: sprzedano ją w ponad 100 tysięcy egzemplarzach
It should be written: sprzedano ponad 100 tysięcy egzamplarzy

I can't find anything wrong with this text Cinek so I doubt any foreigner will.Come on,tell us!

There is a possibility to change only one word in the original sentence to make it correct :) Just a tip :)

@Cinek,
Maybe if you gave us some errors in children's books, we might stand a chance!
If endings are the problem, you're presuming us learners are completely familiar with all the cases.
If native speakers are having difficulties spotting the mistake, there's not much chance for the rest of us!

or sprzedano ją w stu tysiącach egzemplarzy

I see it, I'm so super duper great... oh wait...

Yes!


Next time I'll try to keep it shorter and will give you more hints.

So now try this one, hints: grammar, ending, country names.

Cinek
great idea but maybe focus on some gossips columns- easier and more obvious mistakes :)

w stu tysiącach egzemplarzy

sorry didn't read the updated thread, it's already been suggested above

nevermind

wait, are you a Polish lang learner?


I don't read them much, but yes you're right. If I find one I'll post it here too.

Hispania i Wlochy?
Probably even sth this simple i will get wrong

Nie :p. Dzisiaj się zarejestrowałam. Nie mogłam oprzeć się pokusie i dlatego wzięłam udział w dyskusji. Obiecuję, że już więcej nie będę psuła zabawy :).

Pozdrawiam serdecznie :)

Here you are:

Thank you all however it wouldn't be fair for me to take part in that game :) I will leave it to foreigners :)

Hmmmm..... Is it not instrumental after 'przed'? So it would be something like...Hiszpanią i Włochami...

Yes, but 'przed' connects here with 'on' ('nim'). The Spain and Italy connects here with 'z banków krajów'...

This poor foreigner`s grammar is not good enough to spot any issues yet, haha. Great idea for a game! I will keep trying :)
