"Do you have siblings?"

Translation: Czy masz rodzeństwo?

[anothernobody]

Why isn't it "rodzeństwem"? Don't we use it with "to have"?

[Ashibaal]

No, rodzeństwem is instrumental. It is used after "be", not "have".

A very good explanation, thank you. You made my day.

I'm really happy that I have been studying this language long enough to finally notice some patterns! For example, the word for "parent" and "sibling" share the same root and are both related to being the one passing down offspring, or being a brother/sister to one

I put "rodzeństwo" in my answer and then it was counted as a mistake. I'm confused. That's exactly what the translation bubble said.

Is there a reason the correct answer uses 'rodzeństwo' in the singular, when the English sentences uses 'siblings' in the plural?

[Jellei]

None other than that's just how those languages work. "rodzeństwo" is any siblings you have, whether it's one person or seven. So "Do you have a sibling?" also works, technically.

rodzeństwo is singular, rodzeństwa is plural... therefore Czy masz rodzeństwa should be correct
