Why piję and not pije?? can somebody explain this to me pls?!?

[vytah]

The course is still missing grammar notes.

Polish verb are categorised in several declensions (depending on the source you can see any number from just 3 to over 50). Anyway, this is an example of the -e declension, which goes like this:

ja ––ę
ty ––esz
on ––e
my ––emy
wy ––ecie
oni ––ą

You were really helpful!! dziękuję bardzo

[igalampa]

Jestem z Polski, a tego nie wiedziałam. Dzięki bo nigdy nie wiem kiedy dać e, a kiedy ę.

[momoyatsu]

To źle, że tego nie wiesz XD

[robinac]

I really with they would go over the differences in pronunciation with the letters like ę... I can't seem to wrap my head around how to differentiate them clearly.

[pomber94]

I kinda would put it this way:
ą = American pronounciation of 'own' minus the n, kind of like what 'oh' sounds like, but still not quite.
ę = eh-wn trying to emulate the 'own' pronounciation, again, this ideas with an American pronounciation.

That's the best way I can put it for you.

[timstellmach]

Also like the nasalized French "bon," if you're familiar with it.

[autumne7]

Yes, French language is very useful to explain pronounciation of "ą" and "ę". "Ę" sounds like French "im" or "in" (e.g. imparfait, intelligemment). But not exactly.

Why there should not be article "a"

[Jellei]

"milk" is uncountable, "a milk" doesn't make much sense.

[Ranjani537582]

what is the difference between "Ja piję mleko" and "piję mleko"?

[alik1989]

Piję mleko is neutral like "I drink/am drinking milk"

Ja piję mleko - here the subject is emphasized as in "It is I/me who drinks/is drinking milk"

[Eboni364810]

Ja piję mleko is nice
