"Ulica jest po prawej stronie a aleja jest po lewej."

Translation: The street is on the right side and the avenue is on the left.

[Leon_Gashwig]

Isn't "Aleja" also "Alley"?

[Jellei]

We had such an answer for some time, but it turned out to be totally wrong - actually "alley" is quite opposite to "avenue". And it translates as "alejka". A strange example of a situation where the diminutive just changes the meaning completely.

[hwodzak]

I think "right hand side" should be accepted

[elisatsun]

This confused me so much. I stared at my answer for a long time before I realised it had marked me incorrect for saying 'right hand side', when that is far more natural and fluent than just 'right side' (in my part of the UK at least).

[Cattieface]

'Right hand side' is absolutely correct English.

[Colin198350]

It is not necessary to repeat the verb in this case.

[BrightBadGoat]

There should be a comma between "stronie" and "a".

[Jellei]

True, but we can't change the default Polish sentence and a comma is not worth deleting the whole sentence and putting it in the course again.

[F4yY9kZj]

How about 'boulevard' for 'aleja', instead of 'avenue' (the latter also being correct, of course).

[Jellei]

That's "bulwar".

[Davros12]

In English you would say the street is on the right hand side and the avenue is on the left

[Jellei]

OK, added.

[arkayak]

"A" can mean "while" as well as "and," right?

[Jellei]

Yeah, "while" can be a good translation, added.

[ScottC436051]

It does not accept "to the right side/ to the left" here, which means the same as "on the right side/ on the left" in English.

[Jellei]

OK, added "to".

[pastorjt]

Is it bad "The street is on the right side and the avenue on the left"? Do you really need to repeat the verb?

[Baerchen_]

Can someone explain me the cases used after 'po' ?

[alik1989]

Here, everything following po is in the locative case, which makes sense, since we are talking about locations.

If you want to look up the declension, the nominative forms are: lewy, prawy, strona.
