"I hear this man."

Translation: Słyszę tego mężczyznę.

[DagoVago]

Why is it 'tego' and not 'tę'

[ngfio]

"Mężczyzna" is masculine (although it ends with "-a"), "tę" would be used with feminine nouns. E.g. "Słyszę tego mężczyznę. Słyszę tę kobietę" = "I hear this man. I hear this woman".

[LarisaPope5]

It's "meżczyznę"not "czlowieka"

[Jellei]

When talking about one, specific man, "człowiek" is usually a perfect synonym of "mężczyzna".

[TremikaGeo]

Why is it "tego" and not "ten"?

[watermelon240111]

Probably because it is accusative

[george674494]

is there no such word as slyszym (i know the l has the stroke ). Thanks ,George .

[Jellei]

No, not in standard language. Someone could say that for fun, or perhaps it's dialectal, but definitely not standard.

[alik1989]

Słyszym might have been an archaic declension for the first person plural in the 18/19th century.

Przejdziem Wisłę, przejdziem Wartę,
Będziem Polakami.
Dał nam przykład Bonaparte,
Jak zwyciężać mamy.

That's from the Polish National Anthem.

[george674494]

Yep. Could be a dialect or maybe that’s how it sounded to me from back in the 50s and 60s or maybe my Australian accent has taken over

[CameronFos11]

I can't find it anywhere, why is it mężczyznę?

[Jellei]

It is the Accusative form, which is needed for the direct object of the verb "słyszeć".
