"Dotykam każdej lodówki."

Translation: I touch every fridge.

[deactivated user]

Such a strange phrase! Why anyone should report touching fridges?))))

[zagadka314]

Little kids do a lot weirder things

[DanielDabrowski]

OCD

[LiamUK92]

Whatever floats your boat I suppose

[MacIomhair]

I think they have doctors for that...

[Euhan1]

My professional diagnosis would be OCD.

Proszę, idź na zewnątrz sklepu! :)

[varlot27]

Shouldn't it be "Dotykam każdą lodówkę."? I thought it was "dotykać kogoś/czegoś"...so Accusative, right?

[Zkamin]

In the literal meaning of "touch," genitive is used and for figurative, accusative.

[luxpsycho]

What does the figurative "touching" mean? Impacting/affecting I assume?

[Jellei]

Yes, something like that. Also "Dotknęło mnie to" (lit. "It touched me") actually means "It hurt me" (psychologically, not physically)

[luxpsycho]

Interesting... (In English, "it touched me" would mean it made me empathise with someone else, a bit sad maybe, but in a good way.)

[Zkamin]

Oh my God. Polski to strasznie skomplikowany język... I had to look this up myself..

[idanlipin]

Polski jest trundym językiem, ale nie jest zbyt złe

[JerryMcCarthy99]

"trudnym" :-)

[AusPole]

Tak, (dotykać) kogo/czego to dopełniacz (genitive), a co/kogo to biernik (accusative) :^)

what is a fridge?

[JerryMcCarthy99]

A serious question? If so, it's a "refrigerator".

[zagadka314]

A lodówka ;D

"I am touching every refrigerator" isn't working. Why?

[akikotsukamoto]

Why am I wrong to write "I touch every refrigerator." rather than I rouch every fridge

[JerryMcCarthy99]

I believe that this should work.....

[Gabi_Buchner]

I'd recommend psychological treatment.

[WilliamPil9]

Why is my answer 'I am touching all the fridges' wrong? I don't mind the sentence being weird, you do see people in electrical shops touching everything, including all the fridges.

[Jellei]

Well, technically it changes the grammatical number, but it can work, true. Added.

[emitoska]

Cześć. Lubię zardzewiałe łużki. Lubię je dotykać. Poczucie rdzy na moich sałaciastych palcach jest prawie jak ORGAZM! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imG4OuNAMzA

Risky click of the day.

[BenConway6]

To zdanie przypomniało mi właśnie o tym filmiku.

[Jellei]

"przypomniało" :)

"wspomniało" is rather "it mentioned".

[BenConway6]

Dzięki. Znałem tę różnicę, ale jakoś nie przypomniałem sobie.

[Helena480702]

Is there any special occasion in Poland, i can use this sentence???

[warfreak2]

I believe it is a sentence for all occasions.

I touch each of the refrigerators should have worked.
