"Tamte pomidory są duże."

Translation: Those tomatoes are large.

[Jherid]

Ah right, because a tomato is masculine, but not a person

[kyle.godon]

Thank you, your insight curved my doubt

[Yola448704]

curved? or curbed?

[JulyVin]

Can't tomatoes be big, only large? "Those tomatoes are big" wasn't accepted.

[gebo513]

Why is it duż"e"? I thought it should by duż"y" because pomidor is masculine.

[PonyDesu]

It's the plural form.

• jeden (one) duży pomidor
• dwa (two) duże pomidory

[idanlipin]

Duże is neu singular, and all plural but masc personal.
Masc personal is duzi.

[gebo513]

Wiktionary says that the plural masculine nominative form of duży is also duży. In addition, "tamte" is used for neuter nouns. I think there is a mistake and that "pomidor" is neuter, not masculine like we learned earlier.

[ann666]

It's difficult ;)
In Polish you have three gendrers (masculine, feminine and neuter) in singular and two genders in plural (masculine personal and non-masculine-personal).

Pomidor is masculine (ten pomidor) so in singular it's "duży pomidor".
When you have some tomatoes, they become non-masculine-personal gender (te pomidory) and than you have "duże pomidory".

[CatherineD523718]

can anyone please explain these versus those?

[Jellei]

"these" = "te" or "ci", "those" = "tamte" or "tamci".

The first options are for not masculine-personal plural, the second are for masculine personal plural (almost only 'a group of people including at least one man').

[Layla_the_Wailer]

Why is 'those' wrong and 'the' right?

[Jellei]

'those' is the right answer, 'the' was accepted, but it shouldn't be. It is acceptable for "te" (this), but not for "tamte".

[KarinDanne2]

The "normal" audio is missing. There is only the slow version.

[Jellei]

True, the new female audio is missing. Investigating.

EDIT: Works now (18.10.2020).

[Deepashri4]

shouldn't it be Tamci pomidory? Why tamte?

[alik1989]

There are two plural categories in Polish, and pomidory belongs to nonvirile nouns (non-masculine-personal). The pronoun tamci would have been virile.
