"Jesteś tygrysem."

Translation: You are a tiger.

[jae_diamondz]

Is this flirting?

[RobertLech3]

Duo is a pro at flirting

[idanlipin]

I remember that there's a bonus course in Italian, which is flirting

[Cours_toujours]

The flirting course is available in other languages as well

[girly43]

Like French

[KaterinaRuud]

They're so cheesy though.

[Watashiomu]

In german and spanish too for 30 lingots

[OijlMalysh]

To est pravidlowo

[PaCa826187]

To be honest, I can't even recognise flirting in my own language.

[Peachcat.Moon]

Same here -w-

[AspiroFremor]

It could be, but you could also tell that to an actual tiger or someone at a costume party.

[KuboF]

... powiedziała moja dziewczyna <3

[Sean_Roy]

Rawrrr!

[Viersch]

What a compliment :D

[.clayton.]

hehe

[AstroVulpes]

It's the eye of a tiger.

[Sabreist]

Whether this actually is flirting or not, can it be used to flirt? Or will you just sound like a confused child at a costume party?

[immery]

I think it could, but cannot guarantee it's success .

[Euhan1]

Imagine a line that you could guarantee the success of. I think that would qualify as a spell.

[Sean_Roy]

its :-)

[SergeySypalo]

I wrote "You are my tiger" automatically, then fixed the typo))

[PaulV614194]

Can anyone explain why Jestes tygrysem, not Jestes tygrys?

[Jellei]

Check here, especially part 2.

(As this sentence implies "Ty jesteś tygrysem", this is a case of "When X is a personal pronoun")

[Upl1fted]

That's what she said.

[LaisReis1]

We are pretty chimera by now

[Foxntortoise]

Why does tygrysem end in em?

[Jellei]

It's Instrumental. Instrumental is used in such sentences.

[Ubeogesh]

I saw this writing on the wall in Warsaw underground

Jesteś owcą czy wilkiem?

Appended by clearly another person below:

Imma tiger

[deactivated user]

Everytime there is this damn t in my way!
I guess it is 'You ate a tiger' then...

[25_M1ZU_02]

No I am not. But I've got the eye of the tiger

[IG_abhishek_73__]

No I'm a hungry bear:)

[ChrisRzech]

Jesteś tygrys isnt the same as jesteś tygresem?

[immery]

Jesteś tygrysem is gramatically correct sentence, that can somhow be imagined to have some kind of usage.

"Jesteś tygrys"- could only be used in flirting, (nickname?)

[mskycc3]

What's the diminutive of tygrys? :)

[Jellei]

Tygrysek. (Tygrysiczka, from tygrysica, if you talk about a female tiger.)

Tygrysek is also how Tigger from Winnie the Pooh was usually called.

[EricGreatw]

So, why are we learning this word?

[Jellei]

I feel like it's pretty common to learn words for animals like a lion, a tiger or an elephant quite early...

[merilingo0]

so with the verb " to be" presentations take a different case than Nominative...

[merilingo0]

I think it is instrumental case. But when saying " To chłeb", that is Nominative?!

[Jellei]

"To chleb", it's a normal L in there ;)

A sentence built as "This is [noun]" takes the noun in Nominative. A sentence built as "[pronoun] (here: "you") is [noun]" takes the noun in Instrumental.

A sentence built as "[noun] is [noun]" can either be built as "Nominative + "to" + Nominative" or "Nominative + "jest"/"są" + Instrumental".
