"Oni produkują sofy."

Translation: They produce sofas.

[joleneybean]

Couch and sofa are often interchangeable in American English.

[p8c]

can we translate produkują as "make" (in place of "produce")?

[Jellei]

That of course makes the sentence more vague, but yes, we accept it here.

[p8c]

ok. thanks!

What would the genitive plural of 'sofa' be?

[immery]

sof.

Oni nie produkują sof.

[Mim_Fox]

Why would this not be accusative plural?

[Jellei]

It is. The thing is, that some grammatical genders have Accusative identical to Nominative. I think it's rather helpful. Those are:

neuter singular (To jest dziecko. Widzę dziecko.)

not masculine-personal plural (like here) (To są sofy. Oni produkują sofy.)

masculine singular inanimate (To jest stół. Lubię ten stół.)

[Mim_Fox]

Ah I see, thank you. There's no wiktionary page for sofa in polish, so I couldn't find a declension table for it.

[Jellei]

But there is on the Polish one :)

[Walkinthedog]

To manufacture is to produce and is more commonly used in our conversations

[Jellei]

We try to accept 'manufacture' in all the sentence that need it, and it's accepted here.

[Walkinthedog]

Again, I checked and did not see it, thanks.

[Katinzahat]

In Australia we often call a sofa a lounge too

So many unwanted mistakes over "a,s" waisting so much time just becouse of typos . Please correct this issue .

If you write 'they produce sofa', there is no way for the system to know whether you had singular or plural in mind. It's up to you to make your answers unambiguous by spelling them correctly.
