"Rano jem śniadanie."

Translation: I eat breakfast in the morning.

[galletarodeanda]

Hi. Could "rano" mean early here, too? In Russian there is a similar word, but similarity is tricky sometimes :D

[vytah]

Rano only means morning.

Early is wcześnie.

[Viersch]

Not really.

[alex_tv80]

The Ukrainian "ранок" is a better friend in this case ))

[Maksym626803]

But Ukrainian has the word "рано" too, which is also a false friend.

[alex_tv80]

I have breakfast in the morning - is not it correct?

[Kulink]

I think that depends on how you use 'have', for purposes of this app and learning languages, it may be best to use the most literal meaning. Having breakfast can mean in English that you are eating breakfast, but it can also mean that you possess breakfast. Possess is the more literal definition. In translating verbs we can't can't assume that both meanings of 'i have' will be included within 'mam'. So it is best to only try to relate 'mam' with possession and 'jem' with eating.

So "rano" can function as either a noun or an adverb, that's why it needs no preposition or declension here? Would anyone ever say "Po ranu", or would that just be weird?

[immery]

Yes rano can be either adverb or a noun. But a noun As far I know is only used in rano/rana/ranem forms. I have never seen/heard po ranu, I had to think really hard to undersatnd you mean after morning , ranek or poranek is more often used. Po poranku would be better here as po ranku and poranku look and sound almost the same.
