Can someone explain the different between moi, moje, moj, moja. like when to use them. (ex. plurel fem cases idk)
Well, firstly, all of those are in Nominative case. So they will mostly be used as a part of the subject of the sentence.
mój - masculine singular: mój tata, mój kot, mój dom
moja - feminine singular: moja mama, moja kaczka, moja książka
moje - neuter singular: moje dziecko, moje drzewo, moje śniadanie
moi - masculine personal plural: moi chłopcy, moi mężczyźni, moi ludzie
moje - not masculine-personal plural: moje kobiety, moje kaczki, moje książki
Confused, “widzą kota”, is kota in the genitive here? Accusative is kot, no?
'kota' is in the accusative here.
Here's the full declension:
That's what I had thought. Works for masculine inanimate nouns "widzą samochód"; masculine animate or masculine personal nouns are different: "widzą kota", "widzą chłopaka". https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Polish/Masculine_noun_declension
The -ki ending indicates that the plural gender of the noun is nonvirile, so you need to select the pronoun (moje) accordingly.
To explain, "mój" is a masculine singular form, so it definitely doesn't sound plural "boys".
