Biernik czy narzędnik (Accusative or Instrumental) [65]
Cheers Strzyga
As I mentioned, they're to pre GCSE level, and just enough to get me by. I do intend, however, to study Polish to a much higher level. Would you mind just looking over these five Biernik (Accusative) sentences.
...or if anyone else could...
We're given nouns and adjectives in parentheses. We then have to complete the sentence in the accusative case...
a) (mały kot) Mam MA£EGO KOTA.
KOTA is female.
b) (młodszy brat) Mam M£ODSZEGO BRATA.
BRATA is male
c) (polska muzyka) Lubię POLSKĄ MUSYKĘ.
MUZYKA is female.
d) (ten pisarz) Lubie TEN PISARZ.
stuck on this one - Pisarz means 'writer' and it's a male noun. Is it classed as animate or inanimate? A 'writer' is living isn't he/she? So, looking at my declension table, I'm doubtful the answer is 'tenego pisarza'? So, plumped for ten pisarz.
e) (małe dziecko) Oni maja MA£E DZIECKO.
First of all, is 'dziecko' male, female, or neuter? I didn't know this, so again, left it s male dziecko...
Could anyone give me any explation on my points? Again, I'm sorry for having to ask all these rather dull grammatical questions, but I'm rather astonished at all the positive help I've received!!! Cheers folks.
Hi Lyzko.
Russian. It wasn't very indepth, only a level one type certified course. Tourist lingo was mainly studied. I was hooked though. I felt a certain sense of satisfaction being able to decipher the Cyrillic script. Once you've learnt it, it's there to stay. There are similarities between Russian and Polish - the only two words I remember of hand are 'dom/domu' (house) and 'Gdie/Gdzie' (where).
I would like to take Russian further at some point. How about yourself? Have you done a degree in linguistics/languages?
