"A society is a group of people."

Translation: Społeczeństwo to grupa ludzi.

As the beta can't understand the Polish characters yet; would "grupa" be in the nominative or instrumental here? (it accepts both A and Ą as correct.)

[Yola448704]

A society is a group of people - Społeczeństwo to (jest)
grupa ludzi/ Społeczeństwo jest grupą ludzi

to (jest) grupa ludzi (kto? co?) - Mianownik (Nominative)/
jest grupą ludzi (kim? czym?) - Narzędnik (Instrumental)

[Vengir]

Nominative

[Latcarf]

After such to (which means "is") it’s always the nominative

Osób was not accepted. How is it different from ludzi? Thanks.

[Jellei]

Well, 'osób' would be 'persons'. As "społeczeństwo" is a very large group (it's 'a society' in this dictionary meaning: A long-standing group of people sharing cultural aspects [...]), it's hard to talk about specific persons here. Osób is... too specific, it would be about some individuals.

Is 'ludzi' the same in nominative as it is in genitive?

[Gerardd88]

The nominative is ludzie. The genitive is ludzi. Here's the full declension.
