What's the difference between "ci" and "te"?

[idanlipin]

Ci is for masculine personal plural, and te is for the rest of plural.

[JosephJenn11]

How about ta? I thought that was feminine equivalent?

[Jellei]

Yes, feminine singular.

[TFG]

Which is why I am fat

[JamesTWils]

So, in this sentence, is "te" a neuter plural accusative?

[vytah]

It's not necessarily neuter, it's non-masculine-personal, since all other differences between genders are not relevant in the plural.

[polargorilla]

Exactly (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Polish_pronouns#Demonstrative_pronouns:_ten.2C_tamten). Which may help explain (I hope/think) why "ciasteczka" is plural and not singular.

[kamrelim]

Yes it is.

[Brandon566292]

So "Ja jem te ciasteczka" is acceptable with the presence of "te" other it's always "Jem ciasteczka"?

[Jellei]

"te" simply means "these", so either you want to talk about 'these' cookies or just about (the) cookies.

[Polski_Kajakarz]

Is Ja Jem neccessary? Can you just say Jem te ciasteczka?

[Jellei]

Yes, you can almost always omit the subject pronoun.

Perhaps here it is meant as an emphasis: I am eating these cookies! Go away!
