    Not „Dziś to długi dzień”?

      dziś is an adverb.

        And „to” cannot be used with adverbs?

          To is not a verb, while jest is a form of the verb, być (to be.)

            this was very confusing. The English sentence should read: "Today is a long day" for this exact translation...not "It is a long day today". I would never have come up with this Polish translation with the way the English sentence was written.

              Agreed, I also think "Today is a long day" is better, I made it the default answer.

              what's the difference between dziś and dzisaj?

              Both are replaceable. It depends on personal preference or rhythm/flow of the sentence.

              (It's 'dzisiaj' - You have misspelled it)
