Is this a Polish term for "front door" or something? Or is it just a literal translation?

    It's a literal translation.

    front door - drzwi wejściowe

      Why is "the door to my home" incorrect? Home is given as a translation here.

        Yes, I thought this would be correct. Has this a different expression?

          Can home have a door? I guess in Polish we have trouble with home vs house. If your home is apartment and not house you rather say drzwi do mojego mieszkania. But I think you should report.

            This sentence is very weird.

              Can someone tell me why this sentence is in the genitive? I'm having real trouble with all these cases :(

                  Thanks :) So anything following "do" is in genitive?

                    I can't recall any situation in which it does not.

                        It's like "the front door to my house", I guess.

                          How would you say "the doors to my house"?
