"Ten pomidor jest smaczny."

Translation: This tomato is tasty.

[JonEnMiljon]

Don't confuse grammatical gender with "to be masculine/feminine"! It's the same with e.g. le/la in French or der/die/das in German. All nouns with the "le" article in French are not "masculine" by their essence. There IS not even a neutral grammatical gender in that language, only masculine (le) or feminine (la) grammatical gender!

[MyBrainSuks]

If Ten is masculine how can a tomato be masculine? Im getting better at the different tenses butttt xD

[pherrera52]

This tomato is tasty.

[Assol28]

can we say To pomidor smaszny

[AspiroFremor]

No, not really. You can say "To (jest) smaczny pomidor." but then it would mean "This is a tasty tomato."

[Rosa_Komorowska]

Is "ten" to be used before a masculine noun is used? so it would be "Ta" is pomidor was feminine?

[gabejosh]

yes, like 'ta dziewczynka'. but pomidor IS masculine.

This voice is swallowing so many consonants that it makes it hard to understand

[Jellei]

Actually, our current voices are very good in my opinion. What do you mean, what is swallowed? And one question: do you realize that "cz" in "smaczny" is one sound?

[ChristaA.F]

Yes, it is true you have excellent voices, except one, too fast, and swallowing some important consonants/words. just a small example , on je jablko. You do not hear the je. for small sentences it is ok, but if there are long sentences. I will provide one of the sentences if I encounter a situation like this. Thank you for your kind response.

[JeepBrotha]

Why is it "ten" instead of "tym", if the sentence is in instrumental?

[Jellei]

Nothing in this sentence is in Instrumental.

I understand that you could expect Instrumental after "jest", but that only happens if after "jest" you have a noun (or a noun phrase). If it's just an adjective, the case stays unchanged.

And "this tomato" is the subject of the sentence, so regardless of what comes after, this definitely takes Nominative: "ten pomidor".
