Translation: Why do we sleep?

[AstroVulpes]

Because we get tired.

[PuertoRico_7213]

Ja lubię spać

[Nik659150]

Я люблю спать

[bluthbanana87]

Why is it "why do we sleep?" And not "why are we sleeping?"

[bvdstel1]

i think that would be the same sentence

[Ash473779]

How do you say "why are we sleeping?" ?

[Euhan1]

In your sleep?

[akatsukiaashish]

Question of the century.

[D.N.Healer]

because we want to escape the reality
¯_(ツ)_/¯

[Layn2Marrail]

what is the verbe? spac?

[MagicOfLA]

Spać, correct.

[lclauss]

I get that the verb underwent declension and we get the -my ending for subject here, but would it make sense as "why does one sleep?" Seems like the same meaning, but maybe there's another construction for that?

[MagicOfLA]

In that case a passive is usually used. "Dlaczego się śpi?"

[Jellei]

"Dlaczego się śpi?" is surely a correct sentence, but I have problems imagining actually hearing it. I agree that "Dlaczego śpimy?" would be a good translation of "Why does one sleep?". Added.
