"He is."

Translation: On jest.

yuppp

[BarbaraTu09]

He is = On jest. I can't understand why do they translate it as a single word "jest"!? I would understand it if there was a question " Is Jola/Marek at home" the short answer would be" Jest".

[Jellei]

Well, technically we can omit the pronoun even in 3rd person. And actually your example is good (if we take Marek): For an English question "Is Marek at home" the answer is "He is", and in Polish the answer can easily be "Jest".

[Rider662968]

Excuse me but you are meant to say On Jest, and yes I am Polish

[silkssilk]

if you are polish why are you learning polish

[AdamPoland250253]

Dobrze

[alicekingxx]

I thought jest meant 'is' on it's own...?

[jmango2]

Polish verbs don't usually need the personal pronoun to be stated, so it can mean is, he is, she is, it is and even you are (but only when used with the the pronouns pan/pani). So jest (and other verbs in the 3rd person) often do include the pronoun to clear up any ambiguity, but it's not incorrect to omit them (when referring to he/she/it, the formal you always includes the pronoun).

Starting to make sense!

Dlaczego nie ma on

[Jellei]

Bo nie jest potrzebne.

Because it's not necessary.

[Ignisssss]

Moim zdaniem jest potrzebne. Samo jest nie oddaje sensu całości. Kto jest? On, ona czy ono?

[Ignisssss]

Uważam, że w tym przypadku samo słowo "jest" to za mało. Trzeba spojrzeć na odmianę słowa "być" w języku polskim. Występuje u nas coś takiego: "on/ona/ono jest". Tak więc, jeśli "he is" przetłumaczymy na samo słowo "jest", to nie wiemy czy on jest, czy ona jest, czy ono jest. Oczywiście w przypadku dłuższego zdania, np. "On jest nienormalny", nic się nie stanie jak pominiemy słowo "on", domyślimy się o kogo chodzi. Możemy także powiedzieć że coś jest albo tak jest. W każdym razie, jeśli ktoś chciałby mi przekazać informację o treści "on jest", to jakby powiedział jedynie słowo "jest", nie wiedziałabym o co mu chodzi.

[Yup9317]

So Jest on,On jest, and Jest all work?

[Vengir]

"On jest" and "jest" are valid answers in this exercise, as far as I know.

I don't know if "jest on" is accepted in this exercise, but it can be used in longer texts for better word flow.

[kosmitka777]

Ja jestem
Ty jesteś
On/ona/ona jest
my jesteśmy
wy jesteście
oni są

[silkssilk]

when would this be used

[Jellei]

When learning the very basics of a language.

[Cocomocrate]

Ja jestem Daniel, ty jest....?

[Vengir]

It should be "ty jesteś". Though if I'm reading your mind right, then perhaps "a ty" would be even better.

[Cocomocrate]

Who can translate this?
Ja jestem Daniel, ty jest...?

[Jellei]

"I am Daniel, you is...?".

Basically, as Vengir wrote above ;)
