"Czy słyszysz to?"

Translation: Do you hear it?

[VMGonzalezV]

Why is "are you listening to it?" wrong? isn't słyszeć both hear and listen
like its Russian counterpart слушать?

[tadjanow]

'listen to' = 'słuchać'

'hear' = 'słyszeć'

"Are you listening to it?" would be "Słuchasz tego?".

[VMGonzalezV]

I see, like слушать/слышать in Russian in fact. Dzięki

Is it the same as 'Czy słyszysz tego' ?

[tadjanow]

You need an accusative form of the pronoun 'to', which is simply 'to'. 'Czy słyszysz tego' is therefore incorrect.

You can construct a sentence where 'to' would appear in genitive case 'tego', e.g. 'Czy nie słyszysz tego?' - 'Don't you hear it?'
