"Ona szuka męża."

Translation: She is looking for a husband.

That would mean something different in Czech and Slovak :)

Once I asked in Prague about a hotel "Szukam Hotel Villa" and I was lectured that I should learn that I'm not in Poland any more:D

Do tell!

[mizinamo]

Ona šuká muža would mean that she has intimate relations with a man.

I was waiting for this comment :D

Funny sentence. Both "her husband" and "a husband" are correct.

[Gerardd88]

I would say the latter is the case here ;) This sentence suggests that she is looking for a husband, because she doesn't have one. If you want to say "She is looking for her husband" it would be "Ona szuka swojego męża".

Why "swojego"? I thought her was "jej"?

[jackh594]

Swój is "one's own" in English. Very few people use the pronoun 'one' in English, but it helps to remember. Ona szuka jej męża means "She is looking for her (someone else's) husband"

[Gerardd88]

Swój is used because the person which the possesive is referring to is the same as the subject. I found some explanation, hope it helps:

Me, too. Sadly, however many years go by, this probably still holds!

[Reinier330882]

"she looks for a husband" is (lucky for me) also accepted...meaning she has no relation and wants one.

I wrote she is looking for a husband. But it wasn't count, and in right answer was written the same as i had wrote. I have the screen

[PatsinTogs]

Ahem, ... with her husband, not just 'with a man'.
Ditto in Russian, verbatim (sounds almost identical, too) :R
