"Czy panie sprzedają parasole?"

Translation: Do you sell umbrellas?

[MonicaPola3]

Implies feminine- could be "Do you ladies"

[gizzard123]

I agree. "Do you ladies sell umbrellas?" should be accepted. Why not?

[bluthbanana87]

So the formal pronouns conjugate verbs to 3rd person plural (like in Romance languages)? Is that commom in other Slavic languages?

[immery]

I don't know abour Slavic or Romance languages, but in Polish PLURAL formal pronouns conjugate verbs to 3rd person plural. SINGULAR formal pronouns conjugate verbs to 3rd person singular.

[bluthbanana87]

Yes, sorry, that's what I meant (was thinking plural because this question used the plural). Thanks!

Are you selling umbrellas should be accepted

[Jellei]

It is.

[Erik787431]

This one tripped me up. I went with they instead of you but if I would say this in Georgia we would say "Do y'all sell umbrellas?' :-)

[Jellei]

Well, we accept y'all for "wy" (normal plural 'you'), but as this is formal... I guess we should stick to just 'you' or adding "madams/ladies/ma'ams" which of course isn't rather a popular thing to do in English ;)

Do the ladies sell umbrellas?

[Jellei]

Well, technically... ok, added.

[fastas1]

As should "Are the ladies selling umbrellas?" ? If not how is that sentence written in Polish? Thanks

[Jellei]

That also technically can work, added.

It would be preferable to say "te panie" = "these ladies" to make it clear what you mean, though.

[fastas1]

Thanks

What's with the silly figures in the sections where you type what you hear? I liked it better before.

[Jellei]

They were used in some languages before, and apparently they were added to all the languages now.
