"Twój koń je ciasteczka."

Translation: Your horse is eating cookies.

[Cubergma]

Why is "your horse eats cookies" wrong?

[lmck2201]

I mean, don't all horses?

[Lucy_Brookes]

is ciasteczka the diminutive form of ciastka? or are they different words

[ngfio]

It is the diminutive form (ciastko - ciasteczko; plural: ciastka - ciasteczka.). Note also that "ciasto"= "cake (or dough)".

[ChrisRzech]

Is "ciasteczka" already in plural? If so, what is the singular form?

[immery]

ciasteczka is plural

singular is "ciasteczko"

What is difference between twoj and wasz?, how can i use it? Need examples please...

[Jellei]

The grammatical number. In English, when you say 'you' or 'your' it does not show whether you mean singular 'you' or plural 'you'. Polish shows it.

Therefore: you will use "twój" if the horse belongs to Adam and you're talking to him. You will use "wasz" if the horse belongs to Adam and Julia (even if you're just talking to Adam, you still may easily use 'wasz' because you mean both him and Julia).

So what's the difference between Moj and Twoj. Both say singular masculine and nominative.

[ngfio]

Well, the meaning: "mój" = "my", "twój" = "your (thy)" (the possesive form of "you, y'all" is "wasz" (for masculine nouns in the nominative)).

• "Mój koń" = "My horse", "Twój koń" = "Your horse" (horse is a masculine noun in Polish, the case used here is the nominative)

• "Moja krowa" = "My cow", "Twoja krowa" = "Your cow" (cow is a feminine noun in Polish)

• "Widzę mojego konia" = "I see my horse" (here you use a different case and the words are inflected ("widzę mój koń" is incorrect!))

etc.

Cookies is not a frequently used word in British English. Biscuits sounds more native to me as a 70 year old Brit. But maybe its just my age!!!

[Neil395069]

This is one messed up horse

[Debussy001]

Regarding pronunciation are "koń" and "je" clearly separated or is there some merging of the similar sound ie. more like "kon-je"?

[veudjdjdj]

Imagine horse eating cookies
