"Dlaczego nie szanujesz twojej matki?"

Translation: Why do you not respect your mother?

[Athee]

My brain will now probably always connect polish "mother"s with "Why do you not respect your underpants?"

[AstroVulpes]

Matki vs. Majtki. Confusion can be fatal.

[Aggebaggen]

And rightly so!

[BuellaGabor]

I was told it should be "swojej matki". Do other Polish speakers agree with that?

[Okcydent]

I agree. This sounds strange.

[Jellei]

Yes. But unfortunately, "swój" was introduced a lot too late in the course and it can't be used in this skill yet.

[DinoRaptor76]

I wrote "Why don't you respect your mother?" And got it wrong.

[Jellei]

From what I see, this should have been accepted.

[Sdotwebb]

Dlaczego jest "twojej" acceptable?

[Nik659150]

What does twojej mean exactly ? Why not twoj ?

[Jellei]

It means "your".

"twój" is masculine Nominative.

This sentence needs a feminine form (it describes "mother") in Genitive (because of "nie szanujesz").
