This comes form complicated nature of the word nosić/nieść = carry , among other meanings In this meaning niosę= i am carrying noszę = I carry
You use noszę = I wear, but not I am wearing ,
So, that means that the question "Nosisz brazowe spodnie?" is asking if the person wears brown pants in a general sense, not if the person is currently wearing brown pants? (I'm just trying to wrap my head around whatever this nosic/niesc distinction is - I've seen aspect in other Slavic languages but this seems different.)
That's exactly why we use "trousers" in the main answer, because the meaning is clear to both British and American people (I mean, even if they don't use it, they rather heard of the word).
I am a little lost as to why this case after nosić isn't declined like this Twoja córka nosi różową koszulę. . Is it because the one above is in the form of a question and therefore doesn't use the accusative?
It's (nonvirile) plural, so the accusative looks like the nominative.
Ah, thank you. I hear other people talk about hints and tips but I cannot find any before beginning lessons. It makes it harder to understand changes like this.
