"Zatrudniasz kelnerów?"

Translation: Do you employ waiters?

[Tinyset]

Zatrudniasz also means hire?

[IE99]

Why is genative used and not accusative?

[ngfio]

The case used in this sentence is the accusative. But the genitive form of "kelnerzy" is the same (i.e. "kelnerów"), e.g. "Zatrudniasz kelnerów" (accusative), "Nie ma kelnerów" (genitive). See https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kelner#Polish.

Thanks for clearing that up, I thought is was genative because of the hint.

[Julie141120]

So did I. Sometimes the hints are confusing.

[immery]

I think you could memorise that all male people have accusative=genitive, it may help.
(or all singular male animated and all plural male personal)

[J.i.t.L]

Now I'm confused in my grammar books I have nominative=accusative for masc pers nouns, not gen=acc

[abcdef933419]

So far, only sing. masc. animate's acc has looked like gen.

Not the plurals.

What's happened here??

[alik1989]

In plural, virile accusative is identical to virile genitive.

[luless]

ACC is used. GEN and ACC of kelnerzy look the same.

[Lingimen]

''No, I employ ingeneers''.

[idanlipin]

Engineers? (Inżynierów)

[DankNohr]

I remember I've seen the word "recruit" more often in books when talking about getting people for an specific job.
Is there a word in Polish related to "recruit" ?

[Jellei]

Sure, 'rekrutować'. But I guess first they are recruited, and then they are employed :)

[DankNohr]

hahaha true that; was really tired at the moment to realize it

[Yola448704]

to hire/to employ - zatrudniać
