"Lubię koty."

Translation: I like cats.

[Arturo.riverale]

Dlaczego jest "lubię koty" a nie "lubię kotów"? bo koty tutaj jest mianownik. Nie mówimy "lubię kot", mówimy "lubię kota". Jest to samo z słowem "brat". Lubię brata, mam braci.

[vytah]

Biernik, nie mianownik.

[immery]

Cat is not a person so in plural it goes to the (not masculine personal) category with all objects, animals and women.

In plural Accusative koty= Nominative koty.
Just like lubię film (Acc=Nom ) - masculine not animated singular

[va-diim]

That's a huge difference between Polish and Russian. Russian only has animate or inanimate. It's strange to hear Lubię dziewczyny for a Russian because women are not objects. Diewuszki change to Ja liubliu diewuszek in accusative, just like the singular in Russian and Polish.

Zgadzam się

[Bonnyframe1]

,,Lubię kotów,, jest nie naturalnie więc się mówi ,,Lubię koty,,☺

[va-diim]

It's an interesting difference. I use my Russian to help me with Polish. In Russian, kot is considered animate noun. Ja liubliu kotow

[immery]

In Polish it depends if it is singular or plural.

Animate not personal masculine nouns (kot) have

Singular Accusative=singular genitive lubię kota
plural accusative= plural nominative lubię koty

[va-diim]

Same in Russian for the singular. Ja liubliu kota.

Koty is also a small village in Poland where my family lives :D

[Romanicz]

Да , коты мне больше нравятся чем собаки

[oyvei]

Why is "I love cats" incorrect?

[Jellei]

Because "love" is a completely different verb than "like".

[Polski_Kajakarz]

My autistic brother loves this sentence

[krygyz]

So is "ę" pronounced as "ye"? That's what i hear it as

[Okcydent]

It is not. What you hear is „~ie”. When ę is at the end of a word, most of the people devoice it into e (But not everyone!).
