"They listen to the music" - My answer should be accepted
Yes of course! This is how I was taught at school.
It's accepted.
So the verb słuchać always need it's noun to be in the genitive? just like the polish verb to need?
Yes. "słuchać" (to listen to) takes Genitive, "słyszeć" (to hear) takes Accusative.
What about "They hear music."
That's "Oni słyszą muzykę".
"słuchać" is "to listen". "słyszeć" is "to hear".
Ah, that makes sense. I learned Polish informally from my parents, so I know vaguely how to say things, but it's nice to nail these things down.
is this not the "ja" conjugation of sluchaja?
(ja) słucham (oni/one) słuchają
1st person singular (I=ja) conjugation ends with -ę, -am and sometimes -em
3rd person plural (they=oni/one) conjugation ends with -ą or -ją
Why not listening music and also listening to music
Why not listening music
Because that's not correct English. You cannot "listen music" in English.
(/the) as Genitive?
Did you mean that both "listening to music" and "listening to the music" should be accepted? They are.
And yes, the word "muzyki" is Genitive.
