Why is this one and not oni. The sentence does not signify gender for thr they.
"One nie słyszą konia", Oni nie słyszą konia, nie słyszą konia are all correct, if DUO does not accept report when you can
One is for girls and Oni for boys... So for THEY could two of the answers be right.
Do you have any tips how I can tell the difference between słyszą i słuchą? --- when to use which? "Słuchać" is the infinitive i am used to using.... DZIĘKI!
Słuchać - to listen to
Słyszeć - to hear
"słuchą" is not a verb form, it should be słuchają
Dzięki! I always have difficulty remembering that conjunction form. J!!!!
I tried all of 3 answers and non of them work, it wont let me go to the next level
We don't know what the answers were for you, but most probably you need to check two of them: "Oni nie słyszą konia" and "One nie słyszą konia", as they're both correct.
I haven't been able to figure out the distinction between "oni" and "one." Is that gender? Is one a female "they" and the other a male "they"?
I know by trial and error that i need to mark both to get the correct answer.
Almost, yeah.
"One" consists of only women.
"Oni" includes at least one man.
Well, theoretically "one" could also describe cats, or boxes, or trees - but such a usage is rare. Oh, also "dzieci" (children) are "one" even if these particular "children" you are describing are all-male.
Okay, say, in a hypothetical situation, a group of people are lost in the woods, trying to escape a horse. They're trying to listen for it.
Would "Oni nie słyszą konia" be the best wording of their situation? Is the statement more accurately translated as "they do not hear a horse" (could be interpreted as any horse) or can it still mean "they do not hear THE horse."?
Trying to understand how ambiguous the statement is. Like, for people avoiding a man in a movie, "Oni nie słyszą mėżczyzny", is that more immediately understood as not hearing a man in a room or not hearing THE MAN in a room. Is that something that's interpreted from context or is there proper phrasing needed?
Context should make it clear - we don't have 'a/the', so the concept of articles is difficult for Polish people to learn, we just don't think about something like that. You can also say that "the" means the same as "this" and translate it as the appropriate form of "ten", e.g. "tego konia" or "tego mężczyzny".
P.S. "mężczyzny", ė is definitely not a Polish letter ;)
