"Kochacie to dziecko?"

Translation: Do you love this child?

[JamesTWils]

So, is czy optional?

[vytah]

Yes.

In formal speech, it should almost always kept, but in colloquial speech it's fine to omit it.

[GregeG]

vytah is correct. You can usually leave out the Czy at beginning of a question.

[Delt304]

I'm confused by this as well.

[vigenere]

This is too funny

[cosmicstresshead]

Eh?

[Khadir656918]

Why "kochacie to dziecko" and not "kochacie tego dziecko"?

[Jellei]

"kochać" takes Accusative, the neuter (as "dziecko" is neuter) Accusative form is "to".

"tego" is Genitive neuter or masculine.

[MeryemTanj]

Do we have to learn the verbs that take accusative and genetive or is there a question we can ask to find which case to use?

[Chris827265]

Doesnt sound like a question to me based on his tone

[Jellei]

Yeah, never trust the speech synthesizer voice modulation.

[delanthear]

What does it translate to?

[immery]

you is plural this time

This new male baritone voice is more difficult to understand than the female.

[mafukaa]

why it's not "kochacie tę dziecko?" ?

[Jellei]

"tę" is a feminine form (Accusative feminine), as in "Kochacie tę kobietę?", "dziecko" is neuter, so the right form is "to".
