One small note - it is singular for ciasteczko. And both this words are diminutive form of 'ciastko' (plural 'ciastka')
...which may look as another diminutive form of the word 'ciasto', and etymologically very likely is, but means 'cake' or 'dough', so let's not dig any further ;)
Ciasteczka is also a diminutive, usual form plural from ciastko are ciastka :)
Did you initially read it as a mass noun? I did, just assumed it was like печенье!
Cookies=ciastka (i have cookies=mam ciastka)I am from polend and polish is my first league
Tistechko - in Ukranian it means a little cake. It's really easy for us to lern Polish)
When I started Russian lessons, first they taught us the alphabet. I kinda wish duolingo would first teach me the english equivalent sounds of the polish alphabet. It would help me spelling the Polish words. Right now I am really struggling with the spelling.
Teaching the Russian alphabet was a must, but teaching the sounds in the same-alphabet languages is a relatively new feature, one that wasn't available when this course was being created. Yes, I agree that it would be very useful, it's something that we'd like to implement in the feature when the course gets updated.
Those two are actually "ciasto" (which in Polish means either 'dough' or 'cake').
(ja) mam = I have
(my) mamy = We have
As the form of the verb makes it obvious who is the subject, the pronoun is usually omitted.
Whole conjugation of 'mieć' (to have) is here.
Why isn't "cookie" acceptable instead of "cookies"? My answer "I've got a cookie" wasn't accepted.
Ciasteczka is plural except when in the Genitive case, and here it isn't genitive.
if the word is singular it would remain singular The plural of the word is translated as plural
